Distance

3. Next, from the TOP, there is an almost imperceptible crossline hip slide while my shoulder moves down the plane. Note that at this point, there is no rotation whatsoever and this is SO VERY IMPORTANT with hitting. You want to avoid any CF.

Hi, Comdpa:

Could you please elaborate on your third point? Do you consciously move your trail shoulder down plane,or does it happen automatically because of the hip slide? I do not know what you mean by no rotation. Do you refer to pivot?

thanks

To get more distance while being a hitter the short answer:

1) become stronger
2) thrust harder

If you've mastered the 3 barrel hit, add some pivot for a 4 barrel hit. I know like it sounds "too simple" but the hitting pattern is rather simple. The stronger your right tricep/forearm/bicep/shoulder/back etc are, the more "umph" you can put into the ball.

Consciously, else you will roundhouse and lose so much power it isnt even funny.

Yes, pivot rotation. It should feel like no rotation, but there will be.
