They are probably catching it to the side because they are afraid of getting bonked in the head....Is her glove positioned completely vertical on fly balls? It is for some reason difficult (for me, anyway) to get girls to tilt (turn?) the glove slightly, but it makes a huge difference as the slight angle change is the difference between the ball mostly landing in the palm vs landing in the pocket/webbing.
If they do this, there's no reason to go to TIP and lose the ability to control the ball with the index finger.
