Setup
Tee or front toss with space behind stance.
How to perform it
- 1Use a small rhythmic step-in/walk-through, gather, then swing.
Key feel
Move, gather, then turn.
Success cue
Lower body initiates smoothly without lunging past the front side.
Recommended reps
Begin with 6–10 quality reps or a short controlled set; stop before mechanics degrade. For throwing/pitching, workload and intensity must remain age/level appropriate.
