Hip & Shoulder Separation: Poor vs. Optimal ⚾🔥

What’s the secret to throwing harder AND protecting your arm?
It all comes down to hip and shoulder separation at foot strike. Let’s break it down:

❌ Poor Separation:
• Shoulders are closed, but so are the hips.
• Many pitchers think this is good separation, but it’s not. Without the hips being almost fully open at foot strike, you’re missing the critical timing needed for efficient energy transfer.

✅ Optimal Separation:
• Hips almost fully open at foot strike while shoulders stay closed.
• This creates ideal pelvis and trunk timing, maximizing energy transfer through the kinetic chain.
• More energy to the ball = more velocity and less stress on the arm.

Clean separation isn’t just about velocity – it’s also about durability. Master this and watch your game change. 🚀
