pressure with both of your thumbs. The pronation move is how your left arm
and shoulder moves going back in your swing. You need to have your inside
upper left arm firmly attached to your left rib cage, just under and left of your

The roundness to your your left side going back will allow the natural rotation
of the left shoulder coming out towards the ball and the rotation naturally of
