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.

What I read was the oldest kick was called the frog kick and Chet J in the early 1960's swam first with the whipped kick. Then a more dolphin like rhythm was developed in the states in the late 1970's and then a wave arm pull was done with it in the late 1980's. But I think both of you are talking about the frog kick and the whip style developed in the 1960's. I learn both as a kid.
