Last sessions drill – Transition Trigger Drill is a great way to build the feeling of how to trigger the start of the downswing but Cassie was finding the concept of when to start the Step (in relation to the back swing) a little confusing so we are taking a step backward to go forward.

From a baby back swing through to the full swing she will do the Step to end the back swing rather than after the back swing reaches it’s top. The motion of the transition is taking place BEFORE the back swing reaches the top – and the transition move brings the back swing to a stop by the change of direction of the body to the left side.

Taking this feeling in incrementally larger back swing enables her and you to clearly understand when the Step is taken to be the trigger for the transition.
