I have my daughter working out with swings on a heavy bag. I have the bag just in front of her front foot. At contact should the hands be ahead or even with the bathead?

There are 3 zones to practice the swing. Middle, out and in. you're not suggesting that the in and the out be hit at the knee are you?
