Try it

  1. Put the lead hand over the trail elbow and hold it to your body.
  2. Start slowly with the trail hand fingers bent down and the trail elbow tucked in.
  3. Move the trail wrist from palm up to palm to the target while the lead hand keeps the trail elbow pinned to the chest.
  4. Keep the cup of the wrist, then start going faster.

Why this context matters

This is the second half of the seated, no-club drill and targets the pre-to-post-impact motion.
