Quote from Fifteen Percent
Shorty: You know what the problem is.
Jay: What?
Shorty: You're not moving your hips. They're frozen.
Jay: Hips?
Shorty: Yeah, your hips. They're frozen. Here, let me show you.
Jay: No, it's okay. All right, Shorty.
Shorty: No, no. Don't fight me. Just bring the club back. Go ahead. All right? Now turn those hips. That's it. You just gotta relax. You gotta open up the stance a little bit. Spread 'em. Spread 'em. That's it. If you don't relax, you're never gonna get that shaft where it belongs.
