Have several girls on our 12u Allstar team that are bad about casting and straightening up the lead arm extremely early in their swing. Looking for some drills and/or gadgets that are productive at changing this.

It boils down to hitters trying to use the arms instead of the hands. The hands are not active from the start. Their in limbo as the lead arm (front side) stretches.

I know it is bad. Any good drills or tools to help teach the girls to stop doing it?

I have a small ball half the size of basket ball and a swing aid that connects both arms. I need to look at it, not sure of the name.
