Finally it was driving me crazy...took her to the eye doctor, and guess what?? Yep, time for glasses. Now this was not an instant fix...she had to get used to seeing the ball better with the improved vision, as well as adjusting her timing a little...but it came around and she is hitting much better now.
Just a thought...
We went through a period where she had to start wearing glasses, and on advice of an eye doctor, did not start her off on contacts right away. Yes it affected her swing. She got contacts before the fall tournaments and she did hit better in the fall as I noted, but it's in these indoor tournaments that her hitting isn't as good.
No more indoor tournaments so I hope going outdoors will help a little.
