HATE that dang elbow in the sky. Been trying to get her to correct it since 8u and that is the one thing she pushes her heels in on. She absolutely refuses to fix it. Batting coach gave up on it and said there are plenty of good hitters that do it, but if shes going to it cant be quite so high and she has to get around to the ball fast enough with it like that. Which of course, she doesn't. I wish he hadnt said that there are good hitters that do it, even though she had already decided that for herself from watching college ball. But that from him reinforced the behavior even more. Still working on her on this one. I dont give up easy either. LOL. Ugh.What's up with that funky flying back elbow? That is ridiculously high and serves no purpose. It's got to be causing problems with her top hand grip. You can't get the elbow that high without relaxing and letting go a little with the hand. I would try eliminating that to simplify her action.
PS, the knucklehead that taught her to do that in the first place in 8u, because that's how they used to do it? .... Me.... Doh.
