Took away the up through it queue to try and straighten out her posture. Seeing the stills and recording myself swinging, I realized she over exaggerating the negative tilt.You stated previously that you took away "the up through cue". If you don't mind me asking, what is your view of how the general sequence of the swing works at launch: Lower half, upper half and the role of the hands?
Well, I'll tell you what I personally feel when I swing. From the launch position, the first thing I "feel" is my upper body begin the rotation to get the barrel on plane and as that rotation begins, I use my back leg to accelerate that rotation. At this point the hands have still done nothing except resist that rotation until they can't. At that point it's a matter of delivering the barrel to the ball with the thought that my hands continue to resist that rotation and use that lag position to accelerate in the direction of where the ball is coming from as opposed to around my body.
