Why This Drill Works (Kinetic Mechanics)

Thin shots are caused by the swing center (sternum/head) lifting up. This constraint drill forces you to rotate strictly around a steady axis.

How to Perform the Drill

The coach gives no set rep count. Our general guideline: 3 sets of 10 slow rehearsal reps, then half swings with a ball, adding speed only once the steps feel natural.

  1. Setup with your forehead lightly touching a wall.

  2. Cross arms over chest.

  3. Rotate back and through without your head leaving the wall.

  4. Feel how the shoulders turn perpendicular to the spine.
