It’s a style issue. For awhile I thought the head should be over the front hip creating an attack posture. Like many things it can be done differently.

For my DD, it's not a style issue. If her head is in front of her rear hip, it's a mess. Her head being over her rear hip at launch is critical for her mechanics. I see the same thing in a lot of MLB swings, too.
efastball suggestion of 3 inches was worth exploring. That little adjustment helped her to stretch with the torso better. A couple times she went too far forward but realized the pullback is key and helped the snap. Balance is the key.
we’ll have to do some front toss to see if the hips leveled out.
Played our cross town rival today. Haley hit a shot to dead center
We need to work on your video skills, Mike
Tony Ganino’s work, although mines not much better.
Awesome!
Do you think I need to send the barrel backwards like Haley? She is a little more east n west at initiation, where I’m more north n south.

When i 1st started learning and doing my best to teach this swing, we noticed a pitch location above the belt that was difficult to square up
She’s taken a lot of reps to be able to smooth this pitch location out
its really in relation to where the ball is going to be met at contact that determine the barrel launch direction.
