Recommended Drills

1

Step-Back Separation Drill

Focus

Hip and Shoulder Separation

Execution

From a normal stance, step back with the rear foot while keeping hands in their load position. This forces the hips to coil against a stable upper body, exaggerating the feeling of separation. Then, stride forward and swing, trying to replicate that stretched feeling.

2

Rotational Medicine Ball Throws

Focus

Core Strength and Explosive Rotation

Execution

Stand sideways to a wall. Hold a medicine ball at the chest. Load into the back hip, then explosively rotate and throw the ball against the wall. Focus on feeling the stretch in the core and then firing the hips and torso sequentially.

3

Connection Ball Drill

Focus

Syncing Upper and Lower Body

Execution

Place a small, partially deflated ball between the bicep and chest of the front arm. Take swings without letting the ball drop until after contact. This drill ensures the arms and torso rotate together and prevents the arms from getting disconnected from the body’s rotation.
