When a correct throw is being performed:
The brace will stop the front hip in place and even push back just a an inch or two. And the back hip will start turning around the center. It's a spring! Everything else will follow effortlessly.
This needs to happen after brace, or else there will be no spring effect. If you turn your hips forcefully before brace it translates to:
*Trying to jump on a trampoline by pushing the leg straight forcefully before you have even landed from your previous jump
*Trying to shoot an arrow on a bow by drawing it back and then push it forward as fast as you can.
*Trying to make a push up by rotating your forearms and upper arms around your elbows and shoulders. This even sound confusing typing it out.
For a beginner it may seem like if you just try to forcefully magnify how your body reacts to an athletic skill. Then it will be more powerful.
What really is powerful is using forces to your advantage. It's much more powerful to let the hips brace and spin around the short lever that is being created if you travel forward and brace hard with just a little offset.

You’re not wrong, just adding my .02
Hips will automatically align to stance. Planting in a staggered stance causes the hips to re-align AS the weight shifts from the rear leg to the plant leg, and also when the rear foot comes off the ground.
Rodeo sees hip alignment, and tries to convince everyone that rotation of the hips is where power is developed.
Power from the hips comes from the hips firing laterally toward the target into the brace. Then rotation occurs in the hips and on the heel of the plant foot, to relieve stress on the shoulder, knee, and back. |
