Throw a range basket to feel shoulders power the hips

The coach describes chucking a range basket down range and high toward the target to feel the throwing action. He says you should finish with your hips facing the target and your shoulders and chest pointing more down range, and that this throwing action lets you experience the shoulders as the engine that powers the hips. Throwing it straight into the ground, he says, exposes a swing flaw most golfers have.
