Team USA may have only taken home bronze in the Premier12 tournament, but a strong finish allowed them to end on a high note after losing in the first game of the opening round.

We recently took a look at Shaw’s hitting mechanics, specifically his big leg kick and how that may change as he moves up to the highest level.
