- Swing under the pad on the downswing to keep hands from coming in too high and avoid heel strikes.
Stabilize Head To Preserve Spine Angle
- Hold your head or stabilize your upper body to maintain spine angle through impact.
- Rotate around your head to prevent rising and preserve ball-striking consistency.
