What is "hinging" in BR and how do you do it?

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.

  • I'd copy someone who is really good at it. It's all about strength and technique Well, there is one person on my team who's a great BR-er. But he just gave himself a huge SLAP tear from bench pressing. :sad: Coach has no idea how to do it. I guess I'm stuck with trying to watch Mini-Fort, who I still can't believe I birthed. Or get tips from Jim in Austin. Isn't it better to watch from underwater though ... that seems like the better way to see the "hinge" or "wave."
