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 am going to give you all I can find on the hinge. www.jcswimschool.co.nz/effective_breaststroke.htm books.google.com/books 8. The last word of a champion: Keep your stroke in shape with drills. "Nothing puts my stroke right as quickly as stroke drills." In fact, 10 minutes before he went off the blocks for the world championships final in Perth, Grote was in the warm-up pool, getting in a few last minute tune-up lengths with stroke drills. That's clearly a strategy that works. How about that! "The last word of a champion." I apologize to anyone who has previously quoted #8 above. I didn't make it any further than this entry in the thread. 'nuff said in my opinion. Thanks Geochuck, you nvr cs t amz. jst btifl!
