PC - Like Ueno coming up on her left toe, Bonds' front foot roll over just happens - it is a result of something else. In this clip it is very clear that your DD isn't swinging forcefully enough to cause the roll over that we see - she's making/forcing it happen. Same thing is evident with the rear hip/leg usage. Just like you've learned with pitching, make sure you and through you, your DD, understand the difference between cause and effect!
Thx GM !!! I'm calling this clip the Ringor Shoe commercial..... Its an old clip from Sunday the 30th. Tuesday the 1st I got her on the -10... she baulked, until DW said I'll buy you a new bat for Christmas... I said CF9 -10 33" x 22oz.... I said, you gotta get used to it now... :{))
The problems I see with this clip:
*The Tee is to big @ base... covers Shoe's Logo's
*By trying to capture more frames per Swing, I have to lighten too much, and that messes up colors...
going to have to get better contrast in wardrobe.
*Gotta get a CF9 in BB hands...never was happy that bat blured frame... its green
JK... I hear Ya
Sorry to differ with you, but I liked her outdoor "open stance" swing a lot better. Indoor stance - she has a flatter swing. Even though it looks like she uses a bigger "crouch" in the outdoor swing, it looks much more "swooshy", with a better finish. Inside swing, she try's to stay horizontal more, and the bat gets pulled out of her RH on the follow through.
Lastly - front knee/foot. It looks like she lands with it open on both swings. Front foot open I think is normal. But when her knee is already facing the pitcher, all (most of?) the tension in the hips is lost (which may be why she's "causing" her back foot to spin, as a way to force her hips around.
While she lands open in the outside swing, the rest of the swing happens much sooner - more in rhythm. Not sure if I have the right terminology, but inside swing, she's landing on/stepping with her front foot. Outside swing, she's stepping INTO her front foot - her foot helps stop fwd momentum, it becomes her anchor point as her hips rotate and pull the rear foot off the ground.
Hope that sounds coherent. Hard to explain things when you only see 3 lines of text on a phone!

On the tee swings your DD has a 'hands level to the ball' swing. Hopefully not her game swing. I would like to see a ball set low(knee) and see what kind of 'adjustments' your DD makes. I'm hopeful for tilt of the body, front arm/elbow adjustments and not hands lower.
This is me 'nit picking'....Your DD needs to learn to 'turn the barrel forward with both hands. Seems to be rear arm dominate or bottom hand/arm seems to be along for the ride. I do like her lower body. I'm sorry for being 'nit picky' because that doesn't seem to be what posters what to hear. Again JMHO.
