target view: has this tendency to straighten the spine at impact; better now, but still can see it in the video. what to keep in mind, swing thoughts if you will, to maintain the spine angle during impact? is it due to weaker core muscles so that not enough time and strength to turn the shoulders through so the spine gets stuck and pops up? any exercise/movement to try without swinging the club?

front view: there is significant hip slide to the left during hip turn. is it excessive? does the slide help increase or decrease power generation? some swing gurus:) are big on this slide, others pull the left hip backward posteriorly. also, your opinion on classical finish (reverse c) vs the newer finish (straightened back).

What is the ball flight and tendencies? push or pulls?

she needs to start her upper body and lower body movement at the same time.. her hips are sliding before the arms even think to start moving..yes once they both start at the same time the lower body movements will move faster than the upper bodies movement.. but they need to start at the same time..

and also, if you watch frame by frame.. the reason she pops up is because at the top of her backswing, she leans down towards the ball, which in turn on the down swing she has to make up for it by "popping" up. also her finish is a little high, her hands need to be finishing a little lower.

major head movement forward during the down swing.. you can see she is fighting hard to stay behind the ball but still had to cast the club close, hence the loss of lag.

imagine swing high into the sky, with arms tossing the club over the clouds... this will encourage a deepened tilt thru impact.

Her back foot comes up VERY early. This is likely due to early hip action, and would cause a slice.

It looks like the ball is teed high, and at address she is resting the clubhead on the carpet directly behind the ball, and starting her backswing from that setup. If that is true, then she is standing too close to the ball. That would account for some problems that are seen in her swing.
