I'm curious if you guys and gals can help me out with this.
My daughter has been seeing a hitting coach over the fall and winter and her swing has improved immensely. Her bat speed has nearly tripled and she hits the ball hard. She's able to make adjustments for direction, and while there is certainly room for improvement I'm happy with her progress.
Her problem seems to be transitioning her "new swing" to live situations. Her timing is off, because she's used to her swing being so much slower (I think) that she starts too early and ends up swinging much slower then she does off the T, which results in a lot of weakly hit balls or weak line drives right to the pitcher. I'd rather have her swing early and foul them off then have her adjust her speed to hit to center so she can adjust her timing, but I'm not sure how to accomplish this. I have a few ideas, but I'm really open for suggestions.
