PS enjoy my daughter's camerawork post race analysis!
I'm sorry, I should have my posting privileges revoked for that lie. I can't believe FlyQueen's going off quietly. That'll be a first for my baby sister the loud flyer. :rofl:
Me go off quietly ... right ... :rofl:
:dedhorse: :dedhorse: :dedhorse:
Watch it you...I'm going back tonight for some work on pull outs and a few 25's of Fly.
A whole 25, huh? Scary! ;)
In all seriousness, make sure you are getting the dolphin kick in, when used right it should give you a few extra yards, too. I expect a 32 or 33 at Zones ...

Exactly!
Why go off quietly when we could just hijack the whole thread and talk about fly ...
Rich:
Cruise is right. You've got to whip around on that turn a lot faster. The best breaststrokers turn in a blur. And a little more dolphin kick please. That's the only part of a 50 *** that is remotely bearable. Plus, free speed underwater.

Let's!
I got to see video of my fly (and back and ***) yesterday. It's an eye opener.
Did someone say fly? Glad this thread is taking a turn for the better finally ...
On fly turns, and even on turns for the other short axis stroke, they need to be crazy fast. Make sure you do NOT pull up on the wall! I can't believe I'm giving the Brit advice still ...
what I can add is that you need to have a more efficient turn itself.
After reading this I was thinking to myself that "turn" is really a bad name for it. It should actually be thought of as a "change of direction" or "reversal of direction," but those phrases are a bit cumbersome :)
Anyone follow me here? My thinking is turn sort of implies lateral motion and there should really be almost no lateral motion on a well-executed turn.

One thing I did notice on your turn...after the touch on the wall you shifted your right hand up and grabbed the ledge as part of your turn. That cost you time also. This video is a good example of how the turn should be done.

Rebound, maybe?
On the pullout,30 ft. at least on the 50,35 on the 100,as long as your lungs will last on the 200. I do it by feel but I think Wayne says its push-off, one,two,pull,one,kick. On the turn: 1)don't grab the wall,push off it with your hand,2) get in a much smaller ball to turn around faster.Practice getting in as small a ball as you can as fast as you can. On a 50 I'll start pulling my legs up to get into a ball before my hands hit the wall.And yes I think Rich can do a 32(32.99 is a 32):groovy:
