It seems like her hips open but the torso only half turns. Maybe...

I personally don't see that in her swing. It seems to me she was just late getting to her spot (launch).
notice the front hip. Opening early. like CL said , she looks late. Her forward move looks different though.

She is picking her knee up higher in the most recent clip. If she starts her forward move at the same time in both it will cause timing differences..it will probably change next week too

That is what I'm seeing. My DD does the same thing from time to time, and like you said it results in a lot of weak contact to the right side. Her instructor has her work on keeping the front hip closed longer (like W=W pointed out) and driving her right side through contact.
It looks like a forced coil in the newer swing. No posterior chain. So she has to create force from somewhere... it could all derived from timing OR the back knee/leg isn’t doing the same thing as before. That would definitely cause early opening etc.
look at the ‘hard’ front foot in the newer as opposed to the ‘soft’ front foot in the older.

Hit against the legs.. both of them

Thanks all. The pitcher in that clip was very good but we saw some easy ones where we had similar results. I think it's the front hip; landing open and maybe too high of a leg kick.

and even though we want hands last they seem to be lagging too far behind.
