Hey everyone! Actually felt like I had some form of progress today. Beto drill and reaching wide helped with the rounding, but I started reverting back to old habits as soon as I started speeding up my X step. Can’t really feel the sensation of the door frame drill while trying to replicate in...

I’ve always felt like the power I can generate with my lower body is good, and I think that’s what has allowed me to still throw decently far despite my jank upper body. Are you saying here that it is a matter of WHEN that force is applied, and I need to do it earlier? This probably isn’t the...
