Hit Pause Drill
What this drill helps fix
Helps you find a balanced, ready-to-swing position when your front foot lands.
Coach Steve cue
Land, pause, check your balance, then swing.
Why fixing this matters
The pause lets you check your feet, hands, and balance before swinging. Then practice the same move without stopping.
