Andy Chen Asked 4 years ago
is it OK or sound technique to engage a bit of shoulder moving forward (letting elbow & wrist relax & hang, going for a ride like a door off of hinge) as I switch weight from right foot to left?

Hi Andy,
It is good to use the shoulder like a hinge. It will move forward as you rotate your waist. Keep the shoulders aligned. The twist comes from the torso.
