DD is working on turning from the backside instead of the front. Any drills that could help? She’s improving there...just not sure what drills to use.

The swing looks good. Powerful. The tee is a little too far out front. And I suspect she saws across the ball to some degree. I am interested in what others will say because my DD saws across the ball too.
Feet together. Lift the front foot a little off the ground. Slow move forward with the front foot "hovering"/"floating" above the ground to toe touch. Rear leg is in control of the move. Launch the swing from the weighted rear leg. Launch shifts weight against the front side.
I hate to say pulling off. I just know that when I practice long tee with DD I can see too much side spin if the tee is too far out front. Notice how quickly her bat barrel exits left.
Nice swing.
The tee is in the right spot. It should be at the ball of the front foot, after stride.
"any drills for that ?"
Always, always, make sure she is coiling INWARD as she goes forword to toe touch. Even though it could be better, she is doing this somewhat now. Make sure you dont do any drills that might break this.
