Want to add that (1) the optimal point of contact of the barrel with the pitch in relation to her body is around the heel/arch area of the front foot when viewed from across the plate and the pitch is down the middle for a stride that is shoulder width or slightly wider.Im just getting caught up.

Also, when using the "hips first, hands follow" swing sequence (versus a "hands first" or "hands & hips together" sequence), she may need to setup further away from the plate. To establish the correct distance, lay the bat across the plate so the end of the barrel and the outside edge of the plate are aligned with the knob pointing towards her feet. The front edge of her shoes should align with knob of her bat.
"Hips first, hands follow" will allow her to hit the pitch deeper with wider plate coverage, and making it easier to adjust to inside pitches because she is further back from the inside corner.
If you check my original response to the problem, the "hips first, hands follow" sequence is described.You definitely need to define hips first or how you achieve hips first?
If you check the loading sequence. I think the hands are loading too soon before the shoulders.. and the shoulders aren’t independent of the torso. Basically all turning together. That’s where the collapse comes from. Less stability and more trapped (no ROM) breeds less control. Getting the shoulders to slide before the hands work/load away is key.

Just checking in with a recent swing.
It's basically their program. Scap load, hands above the ball, hip hinge, finish, etc. They are pretty much working on everything at once but they are patient and the lessons have been over an hour. They are big on North/South vs East/West bat path.What are they working with her on?
