Does it help to have long legs?
Is it a hinderance?
Does it make any difference?
I keep wanting to revert into a whip kick.
:rolleyes: this one is gonna take a while.
Oh, yea, even when I do get the motion right, there is hardly any propulsion. I get much more out of a whip kick.
I think I'm still missing a muscle or two to pull it off.
It's so frustrating when something doesn't sink in. I know, I know, keep practicing and experimenting... and just like everything else, one day it will click.
Yeah, I'm very sore today. I suppose that means, I'll be growing muscle where I need it.

I think its easier with short legs to do the *** kick. But my first coach as a kid was a tall woman from Holland then in her mid-40's back in 1969 and was one of the top breaststrokers in Holland in the 1940's, she work on my glide. *** kick is one of the more difficult moves for many swimmers, a lot of beginners scissor kick it and many swimmers after learning it, the timing is an issue. If a whip kick is easier than the more modern whip kick than go with it.
