Drills to help dd stop dipping in her swing

[carrob]

Dd is having some issues of dipping under the ball during her swing. Does anyone have any drills to help stop this. When she doesn't dip she hits the ball a ton. Any help would be great.

Maybe some high tee? Put the tee on a bucket and have the ball at apx. numbers / arm pit height. Keep at it until she can hit the ball solid (dipping / dropping hands, etc. will cause her to hit the tee)

High Tee Drill ......

p.s.
The issue you are describing often has it's roots in inappropriate leveling mechanics during the "reading of the pitch". Hence it is possible to correct the issue on a tee, but not correct the issue in terms of hitting a ball that is coming at a batter. The suggestion is to follow up with a pitched ball.

Does the high tee drill encourage/force the hitter to level the barrel?

Reverse top hand on a high tee... its almost like magic!

For teaching 'turn the barrel'?

DD hates high tee, but it sure does work.

IMO, the high tee drill for my DD reenforces getting palm-up/palm-down at or about the shoulder.

Makes sense. I'd never thought of that possible side effect of the high tee drill.

When DD used to get "scoopy" as I called it, I found some rapid fire side-toss with a glove full of 6-7 balls would force her to keep her swing quick and direct to the ball.
