Striking analysis

Stage: beginner

Stage Characteristics in this video: legs straight, no stride, hands held in opposite positions, swing is not flat.

What to Change: Proper striking won't happen if the hands aren't in proper position. For her, she is standing in a right hand dominant stance, so she should have her left hand lowest on the bat. Once she has a proper grip, she can work on the rest of her swing.

Cue: keep the forward arm's hand lowest on the bat/stick
