I don't think her arm is straight, it looks to me like her hand is a little under the ball with the elbow leading. But I would like to see better video, the camera angle in this one makes it tough to see exactly what is happening, and it's a little blurry.

This is another angle but of different pitch

Poker. . There is no brush here. Totally missed and very straight and locked out at 6.

Thanks tango but a couple questions
What do you mean by glove up the right side? stride knee find the foot? And also close the gap between the front leg and hip . Sorry

1. work your glove up the right thigh and right side of her body asl long as possible with the heel at a 45 or better.
2. her stride knee turns in, when the stride foot hits at a 45 you want her knee to be over the ankle.
3. when her front foot hits close the space between her foot by squeezing the glutes and moving the hips forward to close the gap between her feet.

I don't think the main issue is the arm being "straight" at 6:00, or release. I also don't think she's missing the whip but rather not being efficient with what whip she does have. While I will say she could lead with the elbow longer and create more lag in her arm, her posture and shoulders are the much larger issue. Ignoring the differences and illusions created by different camera angles, compare this:

To these:

and you will find the answer.

Whatever the case it appears my advice helped.

Oh, please don't take it wrong, your advice was quite excellent. Monkey butt and early turn of the shoulders were spot on catches. I just don't think the straight arm at release was an issue. ;)

Understood. Hard to see with that vid.
