High School DD, Need a little advice

[ahiggins1804]

Looking for some help on what I can do to keep DD from releasing her top side to quick. Back yard swing you can she she lets the ball get a little deeper and powers through, but game swings no power and way out front. We continue to work on letting the ball get deeper at home but in games it's not translating.

Game swings her barrel is dropping behind her, as she is "reading the pitch".

A lot of 'slack' in your DD's swing before she exactly swings. Push swing.

Is it because she's releasing her top half before firing the lower half?

Are you seeing the same thing in the backyard swing?

How would you correct this? Any drills to improve this or continue with more front toss to create muscle memory?

Drill progression I did with my DD a lot:

Your DD has done it before. Just need to get back to this and 'tighten' it up.
See the separation. No Separation:

See the hands moving forward when the hands should be 'loading', getting ready to 'turn the barrel forward'. See the hands before the hips.

I believe this has more to do with not trusting the check swing. Not being yes yes no. It's more of a maybe, maybe (the creeping forward of the hands) yes game swing. With her tee swing, she does not creep the hands forward because she knows she's swinging. To me, she needs to work on starting her swing ( like on the tee) sudden and fast and hit the brakes (check swing) when she ID's the pitch as a ball.

RD How did you explain this progression to DD in lesson?

Excellent hands vs very poor hands ?

Yep. Not sure of your question. Pretty sure both swings were HR's.

Has good 'forearm rotation' if that helps.
