Re: Shoulders before hips?

Try having her hold a broomstick or similar pole under her arm (the side away from the pitcher) and have her hit some balls off a tee like this. This emphasizes incorporation of the body into the swing which I think she is missing.

You could also try a rope bat or a hinged bat like this:

> My daughter's shoulders have been getting ahead of her hips in her swing. I'm still learning about swing mechanics, but I'm pretty sure that's the opposite of the way it should be. Any suggestions on what to do (drills, etc.) to fix this?
