Scoop Throws for Torque
Isolate the torque (hip-shoulder separation) that powers a hard swing — without the ball.
How to run it
- 1
Step into the throw, load the back hip, fire the hips and shoulders through the throw, finish with the ball driven down at a sharp angle. 10 reps per side, 3 sets.
- 2
Coach emphasis: Hips fire first. The arm is the last thing to move.
Why we run it
Isolate the torque (hip-shoulder separation) that powers a hard swing — without the ball.
