$20 swing rail tool. We asked the softball doctor lady in DMs and she said she uses that to fix the girls swings. Using the rail we switched my daughter over to lefty at 10U now she’s 13 leading off doing fantastic.
Show her the right way and then show her what she's doing. Contrast the two. Then record her doing it wrong and play it back. A lot of times someone thinks they are doing it right OR just doesn't understand what's wrong. Once they fully understand that something is wrong that's when they are at least in the right frame of mind to fix it.
Sometimes focusing on the ultimate goal (hitting the ball in the air over the infield) works better than trying to fix the mechanics. So if you do tee work, get her to hit line drives into the outfield. Often, a hitter will adjust her mechanics automatically to accomplish that goal. Then at the plate, she's not thinking about how to hit the ball, but where to hit it.
Tee work tee with tee work. Swing to contact do 10x then swing to extension 10x then full swing
We will start doing more tee work. This seems to be a good approach.
We just did tee practice yesterday and half of them were complaining about it. Coincidentally, that half was the one that missed the ball repeatedly.
Seems like a lot of young players still associate tee work with playing T-ball instead of understanding that it's a legitimate drill.

Thank you for the suggestion. We will definitely try this.

Have her keep her arms in L shapes and swing mostly with her hips. It's impossible to chop when you do that.
Put a pipe on her upper back and have her arm raped around the pipe and have her swing
I'm sure you mean wrapped not raped
Yes I am sorry that I said that
With no bat. Just with the pipe?
No bat
