How about the walking away from the hands cue?But I notice the elbow is slotting a little early. She is not elbow dragging. Out of 60 swings at the last session, I don't think she elbowed dragged but one time. It just seems to slot early. If all that make sense. Trying to get her to feel the continual loading of the scap into the launch position
While you stride, pretend there's a guy behind you and you want to elbow him in the chest.
Or maybe 'fire the hips, the hands go along for the ride'.
For my beginners I break the swing into 5 simplistic steps for them (easy for 6-8yos to remember):
- Load (back elbow up)
- Stride (walk away from the hands)
- Slot (shoelaces to pitcher; knob to pitcher; knee, hip, shoulder stacked)
- Extend (palm up/down, point bat at the 2nd baseman)
- Follow through (hands at shoulder)
Of course, each player will have their own issues to sort out.
