0:00.0	The other big thing I'll mention on is some swing characteristics that can cause injury.
0:06.0	The first big one is early extension, which is practically where the hips get closer towards the ball prior to impact.
0:14.0	From here it puts our body in a position where our back is arching, it's side bending and also we're rotating at the same time which puts
