I'm just learning these formally (I taught myself a few years ago) and consequently suck at the pullout. I always mess up the timing and I"m almost always too deep, especially from a dive. So two questions:
1) Any tips for reading depth? Breaking out to early, or feet brushing the surface are my biggest problems.
2) In a race, is it better to risk a pullout and possible DQ, or just do a streamline off the walls? I feel like I can go almost as far on a good streamline as a pullout, and streamline don't usually have messy outcomes.
Thanks!!!!
Practice, practice! I don't use a board when I kick ***, so off every wall when kicking is another opportunity to work on the pullout. Do a search through these forums for the thread about the 50 *** article. I think Allen and Wayne both had some really good tips about the pullout, depth, time under, etc.
Good luck!
