dipping back shoulder during swing

[SOFTBALLCRAZY]

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to keep a player from dipping their back shoulder when swinging the bat? Any drills? DD form is great off the tee, soft toss, just loses it during the game.

softballcrazy, the "back view" was a double to right. The front view is a double to left that hit the fence. How about this pic?

I am thinking that she is OK. You don't want level shoulders on the swing.

SOFTBALLCRAZY,
That is the postion you want your DD's back shoulder in when swinging.You don't want level shoulder swinging with the hands going/dropping down to the plain of the ball.Need to tilt and then get bat on plain of the ball.I see that SBFAMILY sent you a PM.He will give you good advise.

softballcrazy, the "Model Swings" thread (sticky) is outstanding. FFS as the main contributor has done a great service by posting video of the softball swing. Go to the last page and take a look at the video of the Arizona State player in slow motion.
