Have you tried to push back with the front leg/foot to load the hips? Instead of loading up the upperbody or shifting backwards, you push backwards with the front leg/foot against the back hip/leg.
Thanks CB... I actually thought she was over baking the scap a littleThere is minimal scap load and once it’s loaded it immediately released. Scap load needs maintained as long as possible. Have her take her stance without holding a bat but hands where she would have the bat. Pull the top elbow back until the scap pinches (like you are gonna punch somebody with top hand). Where her hands are it may take a long pull back to feel the scap pinch. She can do this dry. Pull back (scap pinch) from her stance, stride and hold scap pinch, start to rotate lower body while continuing to maintain scap pinch. Once she gets the feel for scap pinch, get her to stride and scap pinch at same time.
It's been said before and I can't disagree... I don't like the upward motion at all. Been struggling with that 1. I also don't like how the elbows seem to hug the torso which (swing occurs around the body, not out from the body). The barrel seems to take an abrupt right hand turn at contact instead of hitting through the ballI think she might be posting up on the front leg/hip a little too much. The front hip doesn't move backwards as much as it is posting up. That might be part of what your seeing as standing up on the front leg.
Here's another vid tonight obviously with some focus on not loading on top of her back knee too much and loading more into.
Don't like how the hands are dropping in this video and elbows wrapping around trunk. Tee is set up a little too far out front as well
No we have not tried thatHave you tried to push back with the front leg/foot to load the hips? Instead of loading up the upperbody or shifting backwards, you push backwards with the front leg/foot against the back hip/leg.
Thanks for the detailed analysis James... I am not disagreeing, but I need to ask follow up questions and provide my own analysis for greater understanding.
1. Lead elbow, yes there is a lot to be desired about her lead elbow. I've mentioned a couple of things already. However I do see a lot of MLB hitters in this position at this portion of their swing

Isn't the most important thing that it get's worked back up after? Wow, optical illusion, the purple white bat in the BG is not the bat she is swinging, lol.

2. Back knee, been working hard on this, creeps back into the swing at points. As you can see 1st pic compared to 2nd, there is a difference in how much weight is placed there. Still I know she leans over it too far, but at least she is not sitting on it so much

3. FYB, all back all forward. I know what this means, but due to my lack of experience I may be missing this one. I see the pic below as a FYB position. Heel is planted, scap still engaged, hands still back, coil still remains in upper body, back forearm still 180 degrees with ground, front shoulder slight declined, etc. This is an important one to me, so if I'm missing something please let me know. FYI, I believe she is leaking forward a little at heel plant. And due to her leaning over the back foot too far she does not get back to the 50/50 position. This is something we will continue to work on.

The C shape is natural, not a teach point by me.. but I believe this happens as the front hip is pulled back.
Thanks again, my DD has a lot of work to do. However I've made a commitment to understand what is being said to me so I can help her in the best way I can.
