Calling all breaststroke gurus ... Can anyone explain what "hinging" is in breaststroke? I've heard the reference, but don't really know what it is or how to do it.
Also, do any you use paddles in BR for fast scull drills or anything else?
Thanks.
Mention of hinge:
This is from the Jill Clarke Swimming School site posted by "geochuck" (Thanks!):
"If you use your high elbows as a hinge for the inward sweep of your hands and forearms, you'll create the leverage you need to use your abdominal muscles to bring your hips forward."
Regards, VB
