This has been our focus, and she had a great tourney this past weekend. We had planned to keep it simple, but she obviously decided she would continue the leg kick, lol; I feel for the most part she is who she is for now during the season. So we stay focused on her mental game - this is where most of her improvement is apparent.
@clemenslee1 I really enjoyed your recent post so I snuck in a little tip and rip with some walk-throughs on a recent tee session.
Not asking anything more than to have fun with it, but maybe it subconsciously over time lessens some bat wrap and improves her hand pivot. Not sure if we did it correctly, but it seems more fluid, more effortless.
Thanks! We are keeping it simple, and though fun, I did want to make sure her "hands" (hand, forearm relationship) maintained some rigidity to feel the pull back of the tip. Hope I understand that right...didn't want a little wrist waggle, if that makes sense.Very nice! She's going to be a good one! I personally believe tip/rip, has real value for some players. In the fact that it allows more natural sequencing of the hands loading. One thing while having fun with it, is to make sure to keep it in control. I doesn't need to be some crazy movement.
Among other things that DD has changed, I really am sold, that this added a big benefit for her being able to improve her loading timing wise against live pitching.
Some tip straight to the opposite batters box, some tip more so towards the pitcher.
Ruth for example was more towards the opposite batters box. Need to find what works the best and naturally.

Yeah I like that lit bit of pull back with the tip, that you DD did. She'd definitely didn't allow the bat to loop. It seemed to even get the barrel to stay more vertical, instead of laying flat etc.Thanks!

Julray, I never said thank you for this insightful reply. I appreciate it. Her "move out" has been very difficult to conquer this year.I'm being extra picky, I think for her age she's well on her way. Love the way she leverages the ground. However I think she's sitting on her back foot/leg a little at heel plant.

Here's a nice progression using Wright showing how he get's off is back leg into a balanced position at heel plant. Compare his front hip with the manager in the dug out, from the first to the last pic it travels quite a bit, this distance varies between hitters, but I just wanted to point that out and how his head stays centered over his belt buckle.
