A few drills, that I use that may help you, first stand behind her with a rope, have her hold the rope like a bat in her hand, you hold the other end. Pull it taught. have her weight shift, then pull the rope with her front hand and not her shoulder going to contact, when she uses the front elbow to contact you will see both arms will be bent, The straight arm is caused by the shoulder pull. Do this and get to contact and have her check her arms, do it slowly, in what we would call the matrix.
Next is a hammer drill, have her hold a hammer by the handle like she would a bat, then remove the back hand completely from the handle. weight shift, and using the front elbow and her hips have her slowly take the hammer head to contact, watching and not allowing her front shoulder to open until the last second. You can hold a bat knob up at the contact point for her to hit gently with the hammer.
After the hammer then you can use a t ball bat and do front arm only swings at the matrix speed, doing the hammer drill with a bat on a ball, again making sure the front shoulder isnt being used to drive to contact.
Just a few drills I have used and found beneficial in solving the front shoulder issue,. Good luck ......
