Hand Separation ()
Hand Separation
- This process starts with the Rock Step and the hands should be going over the head or possibly staying at the chest (whatever is most comfortable).
- When bringing the hands back down be sure they are in sync with the leg lift.
- The throwing arm should continue the down and straight back in an arc-like motion, watch for wrapping on the reach back as well as reaching straight back without the arc.
- Make sure that the thumbs are down when separating and the hand is to the sky (doing this will help force the elbow into the right position to throw).
- As the body starts the smooth glide forward the arm should be back into the power position before the stride foot hits the ground.
