My 2 DD hitting today

[nanotech14]

She looks to be spinning. I don't see much leg drive IMO

Hey Yall thanks for the discussion. I dont have all the stuff to put a gif next to someone else and compare. IMO she isnt getting enough drive off her back leg either. Her college coach is working on her not being so straight legged to help get her hips to help give more power and drive. She is a very strong girl and gets alot of pop out of her bat. I think her biggest asset is her bat speed and the strength in her hands

My thought is more in the frame of the upper body resisting the action of the lower....pulling back.... creating stretch.....stretch and fire.

Do the mouse test. Put the mouse pointer on the front foot. I don't see the rear leg spinning as much as I see it just going to the toe.

Needs to drive off of the rear leg/foot.

She needs to drive the hip, not with the foot, though. Take another look at Bustos. Her rear foot becomes pulled, rather than it driving.

 

[softballphreak]

This is rear foot/leg drive.

This is what it looks like when the hips drive the rear foot/leg

Nope, she's not releasing the rear foot. Look at Bustos' rear foot. See her rear toe being pulled? The lower batter is not letting her knee bend so her hip can shift.

Or closer to the point, she's stuck on her rear foot.

RD,

She is not using her rear hip at all. She's all back all forward, not forward yet stay back. You really need to learn the lower half mechanics better. You've missed diagnosed things in my DDs swing and others. This is what causes new dads problem. People come here to learn and frankly you are not one to give advice, sorry for being so blunt. Focus on your DD

I guess I am old school with terms and what I see.

What I look for in fast speed swings is how the hands line up with the back leg stripe of the pants, and how long they stay there before release.
If they fly past then, connection is lost in my opinion.

RD,

Lets get one thing straight I don't need anyone holding my hand, that you can be sure of. I'm glad your not going to give advice, it will help future hitters. Stick to making gifs, cause you are good at it.

Is it so hard to simply state you don't agree with someone then explain the reasons why in way that is helpful then the OP can look at the two things being said and in conjunction with the players coach make a decision on anything that might need to be improved upon. Especially in this case when the girl has a college coach that is already working with her.

To the OP...sorry for derailing the thread, I can tell you have already worked hard with your first DD and continued good luck with your younger one.
