What kind of turns are you all doing for back to *** in IM? A touch and go or the touch and then flip? Which do you feel is faster?

  • I think the spin turn, like the old backstroke "bucket turn," is pretty fast. For some reason I can only do it well when I touch with my left hand, though :) I can't seem to pull off the flip turn without seemingly risking my life so I spin turn, either hand works as well as the other. I watched Pan Pac's and there didn't seem to be much of a difference between the two turn types at least from a speed aspect. Maybe a little faster with the flip but much less AIR.:eek: I'm right handed, right foot forward for the track start (my hips are higher for it upon entry compared to a grab start).
