Want to add more velocity and power to your throws? It all comes down to hip-shoulder separation! 🥎🔥  Here is a simple PVC pipe drill to master your timing and stay closed longer:  1️⃣ Setup: Start with your feet together, ball at your chest, and hold a pole in your throwing hand. • Step 1: Get into a wide athletic stance. Reach out like you’re reaching towards your target, keeping your throwing elbow high and level with your shoulder. • Step 2: Rotate your hips fully toward the target without letting your upper body pull open. The pole forces your front side to stay closed! • Throw: Release the pole, reach out, and drive through.  Focus on keeping that elbow elevated and letting your hips drive the movement before your upper body opens up. Save this for your next practice! 👇 #softball #defense #drills #mechanics #throwing
