Otherwise, wouldn't the front elbow be below the back elbow resulting in a downswing which would lead to only more pop-ups? I agree with yelling out your advice to her during a game would be counterproductive.

JLB,

I didn't say the shoulder's would remain parallel. What I said is if she's dipping the pack shoulder and the bat head is dropping, then she is likely struggling to bring the bathead back up to plane.
