she's coming way over the top like she's chopping wood. she needs to be under the takeaway swing plane rather than over. essentially shallowing the club out. ▶ this video do this drill with a 7-9 iron, ideally. whatever is comfortable. it'll stop her from being able to come so over the top and will influence shallowing the club out.

SLOW DOWN - you're not ready to do a full swing. Do the towel in the arm pit training and only swing WICKED SLOW with out letting the towel drop.
