Good point. In the video she is using a 2022 Ghost 30/20 she was gifted which I find a bit end-loaded (overall weight is really close to sticker).What size is the bat? I ask because as I think back with my DD, i know for a fact that i didn't want to keep buying bats every year as she grew, so i bought a size or two too big. Now i think that did her no favors as her body tried to over compensate for that heavier bat that she could swing correctly. It looks like your DD kinda uses the bats weight to get it around, dumping slightly and not being able to control the barrel from a hands standpoint which is why it rolls and spins around the body with little control. Just my opinion but maybe try a lighter bat and see what type of form she has.
I never really thought that forearm strength was that important even though it is a major metric with ODM Measurements, but now i realize my DD really does need it to hold on and manipulate the barrel. Just my 2 pennies, and i agree with the others, she really does look very good. much better than my DD at that age. I def waited too long to start trying to fix things. Good luck.
Recently she’s been using a Demarini Vendetta 30/18 and seeing more success.
