Re: Shoulder injury during roll

When you're hip snapping up on a roll from your arm being extended out, try
to bring your elbow in like you're going to squeeze something in your arm
pit keeping the elbow low as close to the side of your body as best you
can.
That will help from the paddle getting too far extended out which puts
alot
of the weight on your shoulder.
