Well, you better stop that for now and correct the level too the ball swing.

I think there is some swing flat.

Excuse my ignorance, but what do you mean by this? I agree she has things to work on I just do not understand what you are saying.

Stop the lead arm/elbow from crashing down.

Thank you for the response. I will see about working with her on this.

I like her swing BTW.

Thank you, we have worked hard on it for the last year and a half. She has lots of drive to improve.

Looks armsy to me, like she's pulling the bat through. All that head movement is a result of her using her shoulders to power it.
I'd focus on getting separation, starting the swing with the core/hips (I'm not getting involved in the core vs hips debate, lol), holding that rear elbow back a bit longer, waiting until after the hips start to release it.
re: the lead elbow crashing down, I like the cue 'rotate the box'. Like your forearms make up the sides of a box and you're going to rotate the box 90 deg. It's like turn the barrel, but kids understand it.
And belated happy birthday!

I agree with you, we are working on getting her to fire the hips and core before the arms. She has improved there a lot.

This may be a great starting point
