Just curious. My DD (new 5) is quite strong. She can cast to HS, Kip cast HS, (both either over the bar (with straight arms) or hold in HS on the bar), press HS etc. BUT bars has never come easily for her. Last season she did "okay" scoring low 9's. Technique (body position) is good according to her coaches, but they said she has very small hands and not a natural "swing" (This is all from my understanding of speaking with them, may have lost a little in translation!) It is strange (for me anyway!) because she is SO strong, and can do things that others in her group (who are older, bigger etc) can't do yet, but they do much better than she does at bars. I am sure it will come in time, she is young (7), but I was just wondering, is bars about strength or swing more?
