Getting on Top of the Ball: Fix Your Arm Path and Timing ⚾💥

Struggling to get on top of the ball? It’s not as easy as it sounds. Here’s what’s happening:

When your trunk rotates, your forearm naturally wants to supinate (thumb back, on the side of the ball). To fix this, you need to:
✅ Load in supination and spring into pronation at release to spin the ball hard.
✅ Ensure your arm is fully cocked straight up and down before trunk rotation.

❌ Common Mistakes:
• Late arm timing: If your arm isn’t cocked before the trunk rotates, you’ll stay supinated and lose spin.
• Pushing the ball: Cocking too early or letting the elbow push out leads to a weak, pushing motion that kills pronation.
• Trunk dragging the arm: If your trunk rotates early and your arm is still extended, it creates drag, forcing you to pull the arm in – but this just leads back to pushing.

✅ The Solution:
• Keep the trunk back and arm around 90°.
• Get the arm fully cocked before rotation.
• Sync the elbow and shoulder to move together through supination, neutral at release, and hard into pronation.

Mastering this will help you stay on top of the ball, spin it better, and protect your arm. 🚀
