Why this drill works

Getting stuck happens when the pivot is too fast for the arms. Connection drills synchronize the two engines.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Place a towel across your chest, pinned under both armpits.

  2. 2

    Make 3/4 swings without letting the towel drop.

  3. 3

    This forces the arms to move at the same speed as the body turn.

  4. 4

    If the body outraces the arms (stuck), the towel drops.
