She does have very quite hands. Just hold on to the bat and turn maybe?

Guy in texas promotes that technique

Not sure I understand why she isn't being viewed as turning the barrel. Her handset starts in a tipped position behind her head. But that's fine. You don't need to actively tip in order to turn. In the slow-mo version of the clip just when she looks like she might start to initiate a forward push she instead works the handle between her hands and snaps the barrel to contact. No?

Body really turning hard and finishes early. The arms are left to push through contact. Mendoza like.

It's the hard turn, swinging around the body, that creates the hands/arms being spent before contact. The sharp /hard turn has the arc completed before contact and then a push through contact or disconnection. Mankin would say she completes shoulder rotation and pulling back with the lead shoulder to early.

I just commented on her hands in general, nothing about TTB with the hands.

The barrel is pre turned. No running start.

 

[Rolling Hard]

I don't like the head going backwards pre contact. There is a power leak. It may feel strong but it is a leak.

Butter was referring to the Insider Bat ... https://www.insiderbat.com/.

Ok I think that might be a good hitting tool. The young lady demonstrating it in the lower right hand corner is killin me. The other hook thing(inside trainer) they are selling , thoughts. How about the swing rail for dry swings to correct the casters.

I think what you describe it accurate. There is no tip, so she turns the barrel much more subtly. She is good. If your DD swings like this, leave it alone.

FYI ... for a treat, I'll have the girls hit baseballs ... big difference in how far baseballs fly with the same swing.

Indeed... with a softball bat. My DD will often get a baseball for the last toss during her softball practice. The field is a middle school baseball field. She typically puts it in the trees around 40ft past the fence (250). However, when you put a wood bat in her hands 300ft becomes a near perfect swing, best of the best... not average. Wood changes a lot of things.

I might still have mine I'll sell ya. I think we used it around 5x back when she was 9. I kid. Seriously, it CAN be a good tool. However, you can adjust your swing in order to hit it "straight" and still have a horrid swing.
