Use your hips to unlock effortless power.

Welcome back to Day 3! Today, we'll talk about Shape 2.

The Nike Swoosh is where your hips take the lead, reducing stress on your arm while adding speed and precision to your throw.

Problems:

Without the swoosh shape, common issues include:

• Warped Swoosh (Too Steep or Too Collapsed): Either a “V” shape from limited layback or a “U” shape from a collapsing back leg.
• Inefficient Arm Motion: Missing out on the whip-like effect generated by proper hip rotation.

Solution: 

Focus on rotating from the ground up while maintaining connection with the ground on your back foot:

• Use your hips to drive rotation and allow your arm to stay relaxed.
• Let your arm follow the hips naturally, like the tip of a whip following the handle.

Why It Works: 

By allowing your hips to take charge, you minimize arm stress and maximize velocity.

Your Task Today:

• Watch the Shape 2 Video
• Work on the Swoosh Drill to refine your hip rotation and arm motion.

Tomorrow, we’ll cover Shape 3: The “T” to help you finish your throw with power and accuracy.
