I hate it when I stop getting alerts.
I'm catching up now but I'm taking pieces from all of you and appreciate your time, energy, angst, all of it.
Yesterday we talked about breaking down the issue into four parts. In order of importance:
Posture
Not sliding the hips
not casting (which I demonstrated)
and not trying to apply extra force at contact by pushing you arms down and at it.
She hit at practice and from the bit I saw she was killing it.
We are going to the batting cage tonight and tournament this weekend.
I'm going to get game video and will post this weekend after we had a chance to work some more on it.

Thanks!
Posture and casting is cause and effect. Fix/maintain posture and casting will probably go away. The swing rail thing or George Brett drill will help with pushing and will get her core engaged. If her obliques get tired or sore after hitting you are on the right track.

Look at this swing, how much force do you think can be applied at contact? Is the arc and bat speed optimal at contact? Do you really you increase force at contact?

To me the top hand is just a continuation HPP which translate into extension.
