or #TechniqueTuesday, consider this tip when you’re starting out. It comes from a very good set of videos on YouTube.

I’m starting this clip at a segment that highlights the grip and go element.

  • When gripping the poles on the front swing, all you’re really doing is cradling the poles to lift them from the ground and prepare to plant them for your backswing.
  • As you reach the peak of your front swing and start your backswing, plant the poles in the ground and let go of them.
  • Trust that the gloves give you enough control of the poles that you can let go and still accomplish a complete stride.

Take some time to watch the whole thing.
