If she is a dead pull hitter it isn't a bat weight issue. I just took a 14U that had the same issue had always used a heavy RT and couldn't hit it to RF to save her life. Very strong catcher, and it was a joke you didnt want to be the third base coach. Now hitting HR over the RCF fence.
I understand what youre saying. My DD's bat speed is very very fast as are her reactions. The added weight with the end load was a simple and effective fix for her "problem".
I used this theory with a DD who was behind the pitch, told her dad to try a speed bat -11 -12. Helped her out tremendously.
Sometimes we over analyze the problem. Kinda like adding a weight to "balance" a tire. As long as the mechanics of the swing are good simple weight change can do wonders.
