We have been discussing Cues that do not work or that work but need explanation. What cues are the most solid, especially would like to hear more about show your back pocket then show your front. Or any other cues that simplify the sequence of the load/coil stretch.
Cues that work when explained

I like this one when working with young students. "where the elbow was” resting on the top of the back of your hand, “your lead hand will now be”

This is a cue to promote coiling the hip in and then uncoiling the hip when you swing. A common error is uncoiling as you stride instead of when you swing. You should hold the coil as you stride.

I know what you mean because I've read other posts on it but if I hadn't I would have no idea what you're saying here.

The coil should actually be fueling the stride ... as in "forward by coiling".

So not actually holding the coil but striding while still actively coiling?

Yes ... the actual coiling process should fuel the stride forward.

Makes sense!

It assists in leading to the feeling of going forward while staying back.
