I turned on ESPN as SL suggested and recorded one of the players taught by Howard. I compared her swing to Bustos. IMO the two swings are very different. As it relates to this thread, Bustos has a really nice hip coil that is performed during her stride and maintained into toe touch. During the transition, Bustos uses her butt muscles while maintaining pressure against the ground with her back foot. The result is a very nice weight shift. I didn't see any of these actions in the other player. The difference shows up most noticeably in their weight shifts. The difference between Bustos' weight shift and the other player's weight shift is striking. There is a clip floating around on here of my DD demonstrating the hip coil. IMO my DD's hip action in that clip is a better match to Bustos' hip action than the hip action of the player I recorded.
Yup I will agree with you that britts weight shift sucked at the end of the season. Her coach has constantly tried to take it out of her swing all season long by the hitting drills they are forced to use. So it has been a struggle from Day 1 in college to maintain it.
