Feel your 25-30 impact position

The speaker's "25, 30 rule" describes the impact position he wants: 25 degrees of tilt and 30 degrees of rotation. To teach yourself the feel, set up with your arms across your chest, tilt toward the ball, add about 15 degrees of side bend, go into the flexed lead knee, then add a little more bend and a little more rotation and just stand there. He frames it as teaching yourself what the two matched metrics of side bend and rotation feel like at impact.
