Is this bat drag?

Is this what bat drag looks like.

I would really need to see the whole swing but just from this pic, no. Bat drag tends to be more of the back elbow leading the hands and bat through the zone.

Ok thanks. I’m hoping to make it home in time to video her swing tonight. We’ve always liked her swing, but something has her in a slump and we really need to identify what it is.

That wasn't the greatest angle to tell ( I understand during a game sometimes you have no choice unless you want to sit on some poor ladies lap while videoing...). If you can, video it directly from the side and post the whole video.

That is not bat drag. She is way early.that position is not bad just way early.

My DD had similar swing in reference to back elbow. I had her put her back elbow up and start working behind her during load and seemed to help with that. I think you want that back elbow back towards catcher more as it’s going to this position.

Does she throw right handed?

No, she’s a lefty.

I can't see that. Come on man. Stick it through the fence.

I think it's bat drag, but can't say for sure.

If you think it's bat drag, see Post#9 in this recent thread, it tells you how to stop it.
