Full Swing · Drill

Pull the arm down and slide the lead hip to close the gap

Craig Hanson describes a drill with the arm closing up against the ribs and the lead (left) leg moving forwards: pull the arm down while moving laterally with the lead hip and closing up the grip, storing up energy and hanging onto your angles and power. He frames this as producing fewer fat and thin shots.
