Coach's Eye
Only hour into said he will work more coil and drive but like where she was at in a little time is it going in right direction thanks

IMO that's already a million times better. Only thing I really noticed that bothered me personally was her front side initiated the swing instead of her rear hip. I definitely think you are with a better instructor though.

I have a few potential concerns.

But first ... please explain the logic of the pauses. Is she being given a specific goal or objective for each segment?

Is she being taught to push to extension?

The sequence should be earlier in the swing.
Meaning less arm swing more rotation of lower body, before bat lag.

What I see.

I think she is doing great! I think there is great value pausing at key positions, but like any drill, it can develop bad habits. My suggestion would be to keep doing this drill, but alternate it with a full swing.

Keep up the good work, she's going to be good!

Yes just a warm up drill to start with only do a few then full swing. Yes he said get to slot then push hands thru ball.

This might help. this is my DD.

Keep hands behind back hip on rotation.

He did take a PVC pipe and hold it up there for her arm path. I'll try and make one of those.

I think she already looks better too. For this drill, you will want to set the tee a little deeper, so that it is even with or just behind the stride foot. The hands should be slightly ahead of the ball, then release the wrists to contact.

That was one of my concerns. It's more a 'throw' than a 'push'.
