So I posted a few videos a couple weeks ago of Noaah hitting and was asked to post a more complete video of her swing so here it is.
Thanks in advance for any feedback!
Slow mo gifs and any neat tricks to show her are appreciated too.

Wow, that's cool. You have a time machine!

 

[Perfect Circle]

Lots of improvement.... JMHO... I would want the elbow brushing the ribs & the back foot coming up off the ground @ contact. I like the scroll w/ front foot.

She is sliding her torso forward and then spinning off her back foot when she swings in the first clip. It looks like she has the right idea in her mind about how to swing but is getting confused on the sequence of how to make things happen. The result is an arms swing.
She does a great job with the back foot and knee making sure things don't slide back.

Get the hips into her swing and it will do wonders.

LOL! I just noticed that oooops! Sry, spent all day cooking and smoking ribs. Maybe the EPA is right and the smoke is bad for you!

Leading with the upper torso ....

The spinning has been my biggest fear.
She is a great contact hitter but as strong as she is she should be hitting the ball farther. I think that the spinning rather than using her legs is the culprit.
I think CLM is right and she has the right idea but how do I get her to correctly lead with her hips?
Thanks for the slow mo! I'm assuming those are her best swing?

I'm not seeing the pull-backs. All the action is on the front side of the body. We want to see the back side pulling to help propel the barrel forward.

 

[CLM265]

What is her routine when practicing off of a T? Any tip and rip or other routines? Does she practice slow motion sequencing swings? She needs to find another cue to help her get her sequence correct.

 

[undergroundga]

Honestly, we don't have a routine. She goes to a 30 minute hitting lesson every week and whatever hitting we do at practice. She ia also a pitcher so the bulk of her work is put into pitching.
I can definitely see what you how everything is happening on her front side. I think that when she sees this it'll help her see that her upper body is moving forward first rather than her hips. I know it's really opened my eyes.
I'm definitely no hitting coach, so help me develop a routine to help her get going in the right sequence. I will also speak to her hitting coach.
Thanks!
