Craig, Have a couple of things im thinking about and would like your opinion.
Hi Craig,
Have a couple of things im thinking about and would like your opinion. I've noticed doing slowmotion drills that the external rotation of the lead leg seems to happen when my pressure starts moving from the front of my left foot to the heel as i'm adducting, feels like it really starts happening as my glute gets more engaged. I wonder if that sounds right to you, or if i am achieving the external rotation the wrong way, concerned if that early in the transition is too early to start landing on the heel.
secondly, i've been reviewing a lot of kyle berkshire and other players with very big and extreme motions to try better catch out what is actually going on. To me it looks like he has the same initial motion as what i am doing, catching the drift on the front of the left foot and adducting, moving the pressure towards the heel to really get the lead knee externally rotated. But when he lands in the squat to square his weight seems to move back to his front foot to really push off the ground. so his movement pattern looks a lot like, front foot - to heel - to front foot push. Do you think there is merit to that movement pattern in order to really get speed or is it just something that is very original to kyles swing.
thirdly, as i am moving into the followthrough my hip always moves in towards the target line which i feel is cuz i lack the range of motion needed for it to stay back, which creates a bit of tension in my lower back. what i've noticed is that if i roll a bit on the outside of my left foot it allows the hip to stay back in the followthrough, now instead creating some tension on the ankle instead. i wonder if you think the rolling of the left foot is something i should do to help keeping my hip depth in the followthrough or if there is a better way to solve this
