CHAC practice last night, 5 of us. We threw WOB for about an hour. Schantae is starting to get the feel of moving the weight without just waggling her arm back and forth. Tim C dispelled the demons of missing at 12 feet at Woodland and cleared it 2x. New guy, Kenny threw a bunch and is clearing 11 with the #42, which is good as he weighs about 185, so he'll be a lightweight. Ryan is struggling with the 56, need more work here. I threw about 10x, focused on one thing...fast hips. Forget "strong", drive my hips up and forward as FAST as I can. I cleared several at 12, but the height doesn't matter. What matters is training my muscles to move FAST.
Then some stones, trying to keep my left elbow up. I have years of bad habits to break here. Also, did several shuffle throws, which went out to 34+...MUST actually practice this.
Finished up with LWFD, did about 6-8 throws. I didn't care how far it went, I just wanted to feel my hips drive the ball in the back and move forward a little bit in the first turn so I don't foul out the back. I tried grinding my foot in the grass as I noted Kit's suggestion yesterday....no go. Doesn't work for me. That's not a problem, if I focus on the hips driving the ball and reversing my feet instead of jumping around, I'm fine. Last throw of the evening was 50+, right down the pipe.
