There is a few things that go wrong in your DDs sequence. She ‘walks away from her hands’ too much. The hands should get sucked into the body during the forward move(especially with a big forward move and handset like your DDs). She also drops her hands and swings ‘up’.
These 2 errors combine to make for a draggy, long swing that would frustrate anyone. I think if you fix the ‘loading’ of the hands the dropping might go away.
I would work on her load. I would teach her to let her hands GET loaded. Instead of trying to load them. If the load is correct the ‘knob at the catcher’ will be a result. Not an action.
Not sure exactly what you mean here "walks away from hands" we do not want her hands following her lower body forward before toe touch if anything just prior to toe touch you see alot of elite swings that reach back just a little extra before coming forward.
She does drop her hands but it would be interesting to she what she does with a high pitch it might just be she doesn't understand she can hit that low pitch with high hands and the proper bat angle this is a very common problem with many new to intermediate hitters.
