Leading with Wrists (Hitting) | Uplift Labs Help Center

What it is:	Hands/wrists initiate the twist/rotational movement, instead of the hips leading the rotation.
Why it matters:	Breaks the kinematic chain. Creates “arming the swing,” limiting power and consistency.
Good mechanics in this phase look like:	Hips twist first, trunk and arms follow. Hands stay back until rotation naturally moves them.
How to address it:	Drills: “Hands back” dry swings, hip-lead med ball throws, delay hand-release drills. Cues: “Hips first, hands last.”
