We have threads about each stroke and about kicking, so i thought it would be good to have one about starts and turns to deal with questions and tips.
When I transitioned from the grab start to the track start i had a great deal of trouble with repeatability. I was either too deep or too shallow. Through trial and error i discovered that if I focused on getting a good push from my rear leg my entry was much more consistent, YMMV.
Allen,
A minor point of distinction (but a pet peeve of mine). Both starts you mention are "grab" starts - both involve "grabbing" the block. Better to differentiate by the feet/foot position. Remember calling the old start (the current relay start method) a "wind-up" start. :)
