OK so I thought I would seek the advice of the all knowing board on an issue that has arose. My DD is freshman starting on varsity at a large HS. She put in a ton of hitting work in the offseason in order to make the varsity team. Her swing looked great during tryouts and the first couple of weeks of the season when we played some very good teams but now she is stuck in a bit of a hitting slump. Over the course of the last two weeks she has gone around 2-20 and her swing is starting to regress. I know her swing very well and know a lot of the issues she is having with it, but she is not responding well to my instruction(shocker). The main issue I am seeking advice on is that her hitting instructor is a HS coach and wont take any appointments until the HS season is over. My DD really likes her hitting coach and responds well to his instruction. It is truelly uncanny how fast he can get her to fix her swing. With that being said the type of swing he teaches is not all that popular around here(calls it linear-rotational) and most instructors teach something different. DD's TB coach is pushing for us to go to a different instructor, who he prefers, but that would mean some big changes to DD's swing. I respect both of these instructors and both have had former pupils go on to play college ball. So the question to the board is what should I do? Do I just wait it out for a month and a half until HS season is over and have our current HI fix her swing in time for TB? or do I take her to this new HI and see how things go there?
