Yes exaggerate it. Make your shoulder/arm swing heavy to pull your trailing leg forward into the next step. The backswing should be pulling your whole body away from target. Your pre-swings look light/weak and mostly just your arm without your shoulder swinging it.Tried the elephant walk today, and it did a ton for my rhythm, timing, and posture. On some of the shots I started to feel some nice weight shift, similar to what I get out of an X-step. Looking back on the Elephant Walk thread, the motion is much more exaggerated, so I'm going to keep doing it and exaggerate it more. It's definitely much more intuitive compared to a standstill.
Need a much narrower stance, at least from a standstill/one step. The only reason you would have a stance as wide as you are doing is if you are bringing a ton of momentum in from the x-step. Try something just slightly wider than shoulder width. Your typical athletic stance.I'm watching your Power of Posture video and what you're talking about with the closed stance near the end is exactly what I'm feeling with the swinging into vs. out of thing. I'm throwing the hammer behind me What's the best way to adjust this? It seems mostly like a timing problem.
Re-watching my video, I'm also definitely still throwing with my weight in between my legs, vs freely rotating on front leg, like you're saying in the video.
