drop shoulders

Unread postby mcminkz05 » Tue Apr 13, 2004 4:45 pm

ok, iv been having problems with my rockback, its gettign better now, and im swinging up ok but im still not gettign back all the way. A few people have told me to drop my shoulders and my hips will go up and ill get rocked back all the way, but is that right? and when are you supposed to drop your shoulders then? i guess it makes sinse that your hips cant come up if your shoulders arent dropped down, but im not sure.
What have you done today to get better?
