Why this drill works

If the lead shoulder stops or stays low, the arms buckle. Pulling it up and around creates extension.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Focus on the lead shoulder.

  2. 2

    It should feel like it works UP and AROUND in the follow through.

  3. 3

    This pulls the chest through the shot.
