Yes ... this is the second time I've read you make reference to that. I would appreciate information on this.
I'm working on it... I have a building list of videos required. Lots of construction going on. I'll get done ASAP.

I would have guess left shoulder complex. I will ask.ask where she feels tension/resistance when she initiates her swing.
Has this player been taught to "slot" the rear elbow?

Describe slotting as you would describe it to her.
She is my daughter.

No, this has not been an area of conversation. At this point terms and phrases she would be familiar with and sick of which have helped develop the swing you are seeing are:
"Maintain the Box"
"Try to stay connected as you rotate"
"maintain your front arm angle" - (which she doesn't in the clip)
"we've got to solve this bat drag issue with your elbow getting ahead of your hands"
"soft step onto front side"
"hands above barrel"
"knee and laces to pitcher"
those are just a few. Describe slotting as you would describe it to her.

The concept of slotting the elbow, as I understand it, is how the back elbow drives down to get the swing on plane. The feel is in driving the elbow down, not controlling the barrel with the hands.
Almost all of the instruction I do revolves around getting the feel to settle in two places - the rear hip and the hands.

I think when you try the rope drill, you will feel it all come together. I saw this while observing a cable system being used to improve the side ward move as used in hitting with the feet planted.
I know you are busy so grab some rope from the construction crew...just kidding!
Thanks Howard

See how your back elbow is slamming down into your ribcage??? STOP THAT!!!!
LOL!!
Just kidding lhowser but that is elbow slotting. I would rather see her elbows move as if they had one of Howards Connector devices in between them. As the rear elbow goes down the lead elbow goes up.
