I guess I won’t keep it up for long. I like his instruction but we have purposely shortened the bat path. I’m not sure what he means by it being too steep.

By a steep path he is talking about the barrel not being “up through” the ball at contact.

Just my opinion, I wouldn't worry about being "too Steep". She is hitting off a tee, with a ball sitting still in space. I gurantee live swing will not be that steep.
love how the guru compares a little girl to an 18yo. Hahaha. Anyone got any chips for that DIP?!

Too many cooks in the kitchen...pick something to work on which makes sense to you and stick with it for a while. That said based upon my “protege” feel free to ignore anything I say

Good advice. I feel pretty comfortable with what were are working on and will just add a few tweaks. Scrimmage on Thursday and some good competition with a tournament this weekend. So we shall see.Too many cooks in the kitchen...pick something to work on which makes sense to you and stick with it for a while. That said based upon my “protege” feel free to ignore anything I say
The only thing I would say is keep the front leg closed a bit longer. That’s why the head comes forward a tad and the swing is a bit steep. She’s leaks a bit and compensates. Just remind her to stay straight or closed. Whatever cue you were using before.
here’s a good example of staying closed. Your dd should be able to do this bc she uses her hands well.
