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 doubt the problem is with the inner thigh muscles. Unless your kick is too wide,the hip adductors primarily give stability,not power.Without seeing your stroke I couldn't make a reccomendation.I'd let Wayne see your stroke as he is the guru.
In answer to your original question it is easier for someone with short legs to generate leg speed (hence the success of shorter swimmers such as Kitajima.)
