This one is good for what you are talking about.
GG,
Good drill for fixing one issue, but it's going to create a new one... instead of coiling around the back hip, your teaching the kid to sway back to load. Not ideal from everything I've read, witnessed, researched, done, practiced... and once that tire block or tennis ball is gone, what do you think that sway is going to cause? ... exactly... weight back over the back foot again.

Well, you don't want to use any cues of "Don't Spin". After all, spinning is rotating...just using a different term... you WANT rotation.... but the rotation needs to revolve around an axis through the center of the body...not the back leg....I think using a tire block is OK, but I agree that you don't want to sway back onto it. I was thinking that also. But the tire block can help you feel how the back side should resist the backward weight shift. With bug squishing, I don't think you're doing much resisting or coiling forward. You're just spinning. Would you agree?
