Help with dropping her hands

[Rambler34]

My 8yo DD has started dropping her hands as she starts her swing. I have had her hit off a high tee in the past to force her to keep her hands up and that helped correct the problem 2 years ago. Any more ideas on drills that could help her?

I've used a home made zip line for this problem at times. They are very easy to make. I also use it for slapping practice. If she drops her hands she will be under the cable instead of on top.

Take a vinyl-coated 1/8" cable whatever length you desire, 10-12'. Put 6-8 softball or baseball size wiffle balls on it. Make a loop at each end with appropriate hardware. Mount it between the corners of a fence or the like. Use a ratchet tie to tighten the slack.
