Drills using range bucket.

[martinez19696]

Rotating away from the right bucket will feel like your hips open in front. Rotating behind the left bucket will feel like there is some resistance or a measure of control. You can release left in both cases without cutting across it.

martinez,

could you please tell me the purpose of these 2 drills and importance of the difference in how the balls sound when struck?

thanks!

Hi Bovi

The drills are multi-purpose. I use them for myself mainly to work on freedom in my hip joints. I feel like the leg on the bucket maintains stability as I rotate through the ball. The different sound merely reflects how the ball was compressed.

Set up with your stance in such a way as your knees are square despite one foot being raised. Closed when it's under you right, open under the left.
