    How to drive your hip?

    All described in detail at HI. In a similar fashion, Miyahira identified the need for scrunch including lumbar lordosis (arch lower back) and side bend (tilt) and scap dig (scap retraction/lateralABduction, not truly scap "loading" because you do not want to unload/protract or laterally ABduct...

    Core / Hip Training

    efficient momentum transfer with reactive torque of the hips requires a significant contribution from soft tissue elasticity. as for building core, most kids don't have the time or interest. throwing and swinging a lot is about all there is time for. how do swing and throw motions...
