What is Chest Lift?
Chest Lift explains vertical movement of the chest and identifies movement patterns that may impact their transition and delivery.
Definition: Vertical movement of your chest. It is set to 0 at address. It is negative when your chest is dropping lower than it was at address and positive when it is lifting higher than where it was at address.
How to Apply Chest Lift
📍 At the Top — Check Chest Lift
The best players in the world typically stay level to slightly lower compared to their address position.
📍 Into Transition — Monitor the Drop
Chest Lift will typically move downward into P5.
