Get your phone closer to the fence, preferably with the lens directly in the opening. Also, hitters are best reviewed from the front side. In this case, from the 1B side of the fence.Dad is sitting on the bench behind a fence with an iphone which decides where it wants to focus randomly.

Loading correctly is a pretty natural movement that is “taught” out of kids at a young age with well intentioned folks with bad or incomplete information. I have had good luck doing medicine ball throws from the hitting position and given the instruction to the hitter to throw it as far as they can. After a few throws they usually learn the best way to do it is to cock the hips and let it rip. They “Discover” the load on their own this way. The medicine ball changes the goal for them and takes them out of what they think (incorrectly) loading in hitting is to what actually works and generates power.Excellent points and that is precisely what I am seeing as I watch these videos.. I will work with her on it. Any drills you can suggest.. or just more of an approach to an at bat?
I agree with Towny9. I'm seeing an all-back/all-forward swing pattern - pull it back, push it forward. She's lunging because she has forward momentum and she has started too early for the speed of the pitch. She doesn't have a way to adjust her timing other than meet the ball further out front than she planned.
What we want to see is her creating a "load" of stretch/tension by coiling around the rear hip/leg, rather than a linear weight shift over the rear leg.
Matt Antonelli does a pretty good job describing it here...
Issue is, I am recording each offensive inning for the team.. i just need to use something better, or record differently at least for my own DD.When she comes up to bat, get up on the fence, and put the lens in a hole. I do it every single AB for my DD, and have for years.

let me know if you can access some of the video here:
I see lunging, up and down movement.. soooo frustrating!
Thanks for your help!
