11. EXTEND TOP ELBOW. When I want speed, I extend the top elbow fully. I find that this really helps. I know that Brent Reitz keeps his elbow bent, but I believe that Gary Barton does extend his elbow. Timing between extending the elbow and rotating the torso in order to get maximum power is key, and does take some concentration in the beginning. But when you get it right, you will feel it, and it feels good!
