![]() For instance if you fire your hips and spin them open, but leave your arms lagging behind you are likely to come into impact late and with an open face. The last thing you want on a small finesse type shot is to have different body parts accelerating at different rates of speed. This holds partially true for the hips as well. When pitching, in order to have consistent strikes it's important to keep your arms and chest swinging in sync. This not only decreases your speed, but can also throw your swing off plane. Accelerating from the top also throws off your kinematic sequence and causes your swing to get out of sync. If you jump at the ball from the top of your swing and try to hit it hard, you will actually be decelerating by time you get to the ball. ![]() When driving be sure to gradually build your acceleration throughout the downswing so that it hits peak speed at the ball. In order to have a proper kinematic sequence you need to have the flexibility and strength in the various body parts involved. They accelerate using the energy from the hips and as they slow, they then transfer the energy into your arms which fire and transfer the speed and energy into the ball. After your hips fire in the downswing they will start to slow and then the energy is transferred into your shoulders. What this sequence defines is the transfer of energy from your hips to your shoulders and then to your arms and finally to the ball.
