Wawrinka-Style Hip Uncoil & Counterbalance Step-Out Drill

Drive through the hips and uncoil torso through impact, allowing the rear leg to release and naturally step out around the pivot foot for power and recovery.

Key points

  • Separate shoulders from hips to load rotational core torque
  • Open hips forcefully through the ball instead of staying locked sideways
  • Allow the rear foot to step out naturally around the lead foot as a balancing reaction

Common mistakes

Forcing an artificial foot step before hip rotation, or muscling the stroke purely with the arm.
