Fiana Finau...what do you think?

Rear arm dominate. Motor cycle 'throttle' comes to my mind.

What about the front arm extending prior to contact?

Provides leverage ... i.e., results in the amplification of an input force to provide a greater output force.

Is that not an arm bar? Just seems like she would lose adjustment against better pitching. I could be way off base. Obvioisy she has plenty of power to hit the long ball but it isn't the mechanics I'd teach to my dd. Thanks for the reply.

Not 'arm bar'. 'Arm bar' would be the full extension of the lead-arm prior to 'swing launch'.

Unless a hitter is fooled by an inside pitch, the angle of the lead-arm should remain constant, or increase, from 'swing launch' to 'impact'.

Terrible over-stride. Who is this hack? Worst huge step-out I've seen since I saw some clip of an old timer name Bob Ruth or something.

Does it work for her? Yes. Is it what you want to teach a developing hitter? No.

That could be considered as 'cast'/'casting'(hands). Not saying this college hitter. Just a reason for 'extended arms prior to contact'.

Thanks RDB and FFS. I always enjoy the shared knowledge of the forum!
