See that's why I came on here we've been all.over east coast playing and I love every bit of it but I'm about as dumb with technical side of sport as I am technology. No idea what TTB means and I can't ask her she'd freak on me if she knew I was even doing this. I have 4 daughters and she's by far the fire ball of bunch. rd bass that last one you posted saying hands below the ball is about how most of her at bats end up this year. Almost every ab I see her do same thing atleast once. Most go foul but it's irritating cause it's never been a issue and I don't know how to help her
TTB = Turn The Barrel. This refers to launching the barrel to contact by using the hands/forearms to rotate the barrel around the hands (hand pivot point).

Type “Turn The Barrell” here:
She is a bit out of order. This happens quite a bit to kids that are looking for more power. They try to ‘manufacture’ it which causes different flaws. It appears she is creating a longer swing than what is needed. She PULLS BACK with her hands. Hard to recover from this. Her bat wraps around her head during her negative move. The angle of the bat can get closer during the forward move. It’s a pretty simple fix. Keep her negative move the same, JUST make sure her hands stay relaxed almost limp until her body calls on her hands. During her forward move. It’s called casting if you wanted to know the flaw. Otherwise known as bat wrap.

Notice his bat ‘wraps’ during his forward move, not the negative move.
The rest of the swing should be fine.
Post something after you fix this. Rest of the swing isn’t bad.
