>>> ..phil I have seen some who teach so much hips and shoulders that they forget the connection of the hands arms and bat to that shoulder rotation,this causes the barrel to often lag behind the body rotation and never acquire the batspeed at contact you desire[which also well make the barrel bounce back a little if the ball is coming harder].This happened in my own teachings of my daughter is why I know,but it was fixable.Just make sure to understand how the connection is acquired and see if that is the problem then we can go from there <<<

Hi rql

Very good advice. In fact, it is an “absolute” in developing a good swing.
