How to do it
Start with your feet closer together than normal.
Swing to the top, then step your lead foot into position.
As the foot lands, let your hands swing freely out in front of your chest.
Repeat for 10 reps, then hit soft shots keeping the same feeling.
Goal
Combine the pressure shift with releasing the arms so they don't get trapped behind the body.
Feel cue
Feel your hands swing out toward the target as your foot lands.
Mistake to avoid
Don't let the step happen without the arms following — the two should move together.
