Side-Arm Throw Feel
A mimed side-arm throw teaches the hips to lead and the arm to come last.

Use this if
You throw from the top with the upper body.
The fault
An upper-body throw from the top with no lower-body lead.
Steps
- Stand side-on to the target with an empty trail hand
- Wind up, then step toward the target and mime a low side-arm throw
- Notice the hips open before the arm comes through
- Pick up a club and swing with the same order
Step, hips open, arm comes last
Reps
5 mimed throws, then 5 swings with a ball, 3 rounds
Why it works
A low side-arm throw naturally steps, opens the hips, keeps the arm low and releases last. Copying that feel into the swing borrows a sequence you already own.
You need
Club, ball
At home
Every throw is mimed: no ball leaves your hand at the range. Works anywhere with room to step.
