Knee Dominance (Hitting) | Uplift Labs Help Center

What it is:	Driving load through a bent knee instead of through hip rotation.
Why it matters:	Knee-dominant loads are less stable and reduce hip power contribution.
Good mechanics in this phase look like:	Hip leads, back knee supports but doesn’t dominate movement. Hitter feels coiled through the hip socket, not the knee joint.
How to address it:	Drills: Hip hinge drills, single-leg balance with rotation, med ball hip fires. Cues: “Sit into your hip, not your knee.”
