Some videos from the cages last night

Some videos from the cages last night (opinions wanted)

DD's coach is working on her hitting consistently and harder. I'm going to be honest, I have a hard time "seeing" mechanical faults in real time. I took this video last night to get some opinions (and trying to find some software to slow the video down). I apologize for the angle, the cage next to her was locked shut so I couldn't get in there.

The coach has her twist the back foot to try to get her hips through the ball (I think).

What is with the rear heel off the ground?

Has me wondering if this might be the root cause of her swing lacking sufficient coil, non-ideal weight transfer, lack of stretch and less than ideal power.

I would say that your dd needs to strart out in a atheltic stance,not really sure what the BC is trying to do with her standing like that.She has her stride leg allready locked out,and at contact she bends.She starts out in her stance where she should end at,like FFS says there is no coil or uncoil.Mostly upper body.There again just not sure what Batting Coach is doing.Just keep posting video's with progress,and go take a look at the model swings here.

Backward chaining? I have no idea why else you would even start the kid in that stance other than you want her to feel what its like when you get to that point in the swing and then start putting some of the pieces back in the swing?

Similare to what Epstein does with his drills?

Justanotherdad ... IMO this is significantly different than what Epstein is doing in his drills. Note the significant difference in body torque.
