    • • Feel the stretch in your back and shoulders.
    • • Return to the center and rotate to the left.

    • • Start with small movements and gradually increase the range of motion as you feel comfortable.
    • • Focus on maintaining control and balance throughout.
  • 5. Add Resistance (Optional):
    • • Hold a small weight or resistance band along with the club to build strength.
    • • Keep movements slow and deliberate.
  • 6. Cooldown Stretch:
    • After the drill, stretch your shoulders, back, and arms by reaching overhead or doing side bends.
