If it&#39;s not an ankle flexibility problem it might be a hip issue. Try this simple test to see if you have some imbalance there... while sitting down, place your right ankle over your left knee; where does your right knee naturally fall? Now do it with your left ankle over your right knee. Do you have a big difference in range of motion between the right and left hips? I&#39;ve been fighting this for a while, my right hip is so much more flexible than my left... and that lack of range of motion on the left side has been tough to correct (I noticed this months ago and it will probably be years before I have this issue completely resolved.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/187824?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 11 Sep 2013 04:07:20 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:81512fa7-6a75-425e-bb43-9146f98788de__steve__Does one ankle have greater range of flexibility than the other? If you kick a 25 one legged for each side, is one quite faster?<div style="clear:both;"></div>
