Balance board drill for lead-leg stability
A drill to train lead-leg stability while the body rotates. Stand your lead foot in the middle of a balance board and hold a second board across your chest to mark your hips and shoulders so they move as one. Keep the lead knee bent and pointing forward the whole swing, never letting it rotate with the torso or slide out of the way, with the trail foot toe-down carrying almost no pressure. Then turn so the hips and shoulders rotate while the knee stays bent and pointing forward.
