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.

The first *** kick used up until the early 1960's was very wide and had more of a glide. The whipped kick came from that and narrow the kick and speed up the glide. Caulkins I think in the late 1970's gave it more of almost a fly motion to it and narrowed it more. That's maybe why some of the newer breaststrokers will be DQ for a fly kick in it because they don't do it correctly.
