I’m currently working on phase one and I’m seeing some good results I think.

Hi I’m currently working on phase one and I’m seeing some good results I think my scores will lower when the new season starts I’ve done plenty of reps. My major problem is my shoulders spinning out and causing a pull however this evening I was practising in my net and using my Garmin R10 I worked at keeping my shoulders square at impact and I’ve seen some nice improvement I think. However for some reason I think this puts some pressure on my left knee as it was a bit sore at the end of the session around 150 balls. I think chuck does’t like the left foot flared out too much but maybe it could help protect the knee. I don’t have major knee issues just tendinitis however this feels more of a side on pressure push I guess my shoulders are square at impact and hips open but maybe more pressure on the left knee joint. What can I do I used to flare the left foot a lot do you think I should just see how it goes as maybe the knee is not used to it or shall I flare the foot out to 45 degrees again? The swing I’ve posted is not from today as it’s dark only this evening I’ve noticed a bit of soreness :shock: really happy with results though

I just wanted to add this to the post as an after thought I could have been posting the left leg hard which can make my knee hurt a bit. Thanks I look forward to the input
I flare my left foot 30+*. Drives every coach I ever had nuts until I tell them I get a lot of knee pain if I don't. The trick to effective flaring is to not overdo it, enough to not hurt your knee is enough. The second, and really important part, it to lift the heel and move it in, not rotating the toe out with the heel down. lifting the heel will maintain your alignment.
