Wow, all these responses and nobody made a comment about “jumping broads”.
You guys are gay.

Take a look see at the jump in slow motion again everyone. Am I the only one that sees pretty solid technique, except that just prior to the jump, he externally rotates his right foot just prior to the launch? If you want just an extra 2 cm, and I am no expert, but tight external rotators may be robbing you of this and more.

im impressed thats a sharp observation. Yes i do have some lateral tightness in the right side. I think its because of 6 years of competitive softball. I am working on it with soft tissue work and stretching. Thanks!
