Rich,over all your BR was looking good. The start on the 50 was a little flat and you didn't get all your body "through the keyhole".!00 start was much better. Watching your 50 I was unclear why you didn't get more from your kick. Watching the beginning of your 100 I thought"good kick",then you sped up the turn over and I think I see the problem.As you sped up instead of speeding everything up,you started pulling before your kick was finished.Thats OK sometimes for people with poor kicks.You have a good kick so use ALL of it.Starting your pull early seemed to slow you down.In a 50 there is no glide,but finish your kick before you start your pull.In the 100 "ride the glide"for just an instant. Thanks for the videos:applaud:
Thanks Allen that's very helpful. I was looking at my stroke count going really high and thinking "how many strokes do I need?"
So for the 50: Kick (faster preferably)...feet touch, then the fast pull.
Starts..yeah...that falls into the techincal expertise area that I miss out on b/c of no coach. I'll have to look into my books, and re-examine the video.
