[If the OP is still here, and wants 3 things to completely fix this swing.]
She has the one of the worst cases of bat drag I have ever seen. Really. Time is your enemy. If people are telling you things that don't make sense, they don't know what they are talking about. Please stop every drill and workout you are doing, now.
At toe touch, these things must happen. Try fixing these simple things, in this order.
1) the bat head must be up. Straight up.(you can adjust to a perfect angle later) Her barrel is flat then goes toward her heel (barrel dumping as some others call it)(dont worry about where the bat head is in the stance)
2) When the back elbow drops to the hip, the bat head must be rapidly moving backwards, towards the catcher. Hers is not moving until the back elbow is down.
3) Her hands must never me behind the back elbow, at any time during the swing. ('behind' meaning back towards the catcher)
Do not try this or that drill. Simply work in the mirror with a wiffle bat until you fix this. You can get the hang of it in a few days if you work at it.
Good luck.
