Trajectory...

Re: Trajectory...

[quote=kbp;10564250]A very important aspect of a good impact position is that the left arm must be advanced to the desired forward position by proper use of the body. You must be on your front foot and you must have the lower body and core rotating through and past impact.



Einstein,

This is the answer.

Re: Trajectory...

They are not so much leaning to the right, their lower bodies are pushing out to the left so that weight is over the lead foot and their heads are staying behind the ball.

Make sure you keep your arms relaxed and fully extended through impact, tension and chicken winging the elbows will make you hit thin.

You know I worked at the range last night trying to keep a cupped left wrist and it does rather force you to suppinate. While my timing was not very good at first, I did start to get the hang of it. I'm going back tonight to work on it some more. A few shots were as solid as I'd ever hit them.

The article mentioned to start turning your wrists when you reach the right knee but for me that's too early. It makes me too closed at impact and I'm hooking everything. I'm starting to think it's not a concious effort to turn your wrists but rather a reaction to my arms passing by. Is that right?

Yes, that's right
