Can you feel the stretch/tension?

Sorry Julray for derailing the thread into protective fat layers,

I know all about fat, in my case I carry the protective fat layers so I don’t burn off all the muscle during my morning bike ride. Fat layers protect in many ways

Sounds serious, played hockey all my life and never injured my groin, seen it done before though, painful injury.

It is healing. I never hurt it either playing sports.

So if I go through the process of a swing step by step and freeze at each interval... when I get to heel plant I can feel tension/stretch throughout my core. My DD does the same thing and she cannot.. This puzzles me. I can manipulate her form however I want and she feels nothing..lol. I ask her to over bake it, load the scap more, open the hips more.. and nothing. Is this because I'm a old man and shes a young teenager who's much more limber ? Or maybe there's something messed up that I cannot identify

FYI, I can see the ripples on her jersey across her midsection at heel plant... looks to me the she is creating stretch.

Your DD is pretty flexible I’m assuming? Some young players have can pinch their scap all the way to the spine with ease. Have her pinch her scap in her stance and begin to rotate lower body while maintaining her scap load. Her obliques will be stretched to the max. Hope that helps

I hear ya, just hockey players are prone to groin injuries

Yep she's flexible without even working on it. I had her do what you are saying to an extent.. but we will continue to rotate the lower half with the scap loaded until she looks in a ridiculous position to feel what I am talking about
