I met a great success in Double Axel training today. I finally realized what the problem actually was. I don't need to focus too hard or use any strength on my right shoulder. Instead, the correct method is to first focus on making my left leg skate a straight path before jumping, and when gets into the air, send my left hip to follow my right hip. These two movements is the core to maintain my slightly lopsided balance in the air, which can help me to land a clean Double Axel easier and with less effort. Now I've got the basic, hopefully, my Axel will soon get better!
