Hip Driven Freestyle - Focus on Hands

While we build a full explanation of this tool, here are Bobby's [Style Sticks](http://athleteapproved.com/product/style-sticks).  

This is a great way to practice hip-driven and shoulder-driven freestyle.

Notice when the sticks rotate together, Bobby is practicing hip-driven freestyle.  When the back sticks stay horizontal and the front stick rotates, Bobby is practicing shouder-driven freestyle.

Style Sticks

Bobby throws in a couple very short sprints using body driven freestyle.  Further explanation to come, but for now, consider this is the type of stroke you'll see in the last 10 meters of a 50 or 100 sprint.
