The surface surfers have no idea the amount of good there is in this swing.

All they see is that hand lowering.

Is that really hand lowering?

Or....a better way of asking it is....WHAT is lowering those hands.

There is a HUGE difference between arm action lowering the hands and scap action that causes stretch....which lowers the hands.

The long and short of it is....that lowering....is not a problem.

The problem is the 'length' of swing created by the 'length' of her arms....which puts her hand pivot point in the wrong place.

There is NO QUESTION ABOUT IT....this girls is SnF'ing....something 'they' have never created. Time on the surf board is their problem. They never dive in and swim.

Avoid dfp at all cost.

She has WAY more similarities to Pujols than differences.

This swing is better than anything O'Leary has ever created.

This swing can be better also.

Just flat out STUPID advice. There is no other way to describe it.

He can't even analyze what she IS doing....let alone....suggest what she SHOULD do...

* Her current form is more "linear" than "rotational". When she lifts her front leg, she is actually striding forward, which disperses her power over a wider area. I also think she isn't getting the most out of her load due to this forward step. My advise would be for her to lift her leg straight up, so can feel her weight transfer from a neutral position to over her back leg and foot. When her front foot hits the ground and her hips begin to rotate, she will enjoy more power because of this more effective load.

* Another negative from her forward stride is she will have difficulty finishing on her front side. At the end of her swing, she is leaning back and the majority of her weight is on her back side. If she loads like I am suggesting, it will be easier for her to finish her swing on her front side, which is indicitive of full hip and shoulder rotation.
