I think she is stepping flat footed.
We continue to struggle trying to straighten that front leg. She has played dome ball and in a late fall tournament and continues with the bent front knee.
Any other suggestions for getting her to feel the proper lower mechanics would be appreciated. She knows she is not getting her front leg straight and is trying to correct it.
Thanks.
We had a girl who did this and for her it is because she does not transfer enough weight into the front side. We had her do the happy Gilmore swing off a tee into a net. When they walk forward plant the front foot and throw a lot of weigh into the front side the leg has to firm up holding them back as they they rotate all of this energy. Most who do this don't understand how to rotate into the front side they just turn. That front foot needs to land more closed at the start as well.
