Does anyone have this problem?
I need to make a super effort to get a foot on the pad. I'm usually under it. If I adjust to touch it, I am not pushing off at the right angle. I just have a deeper turn than most.
I guess I need to try and fix this because getting splits is important.
Any thoughts?

Out of curiosity I checked the SwimAZ.com converter to see what they used as the spread between SCM & LCM - presumedly due to the turn.

How much the turn is worth is split Male/Female
LCM 50 Time----Female SCM Faster by:----Male SCM Faster by:
25-----------------0.70-------------------1.00
26-----------------0.73-------------------1.04
27-----------------0.76-------------------1.08
28-----------------0.79-------------------1.12
29-----------------0.82-------------------1.16
30-----------------0.84-------------------1.21
Speed counts. I guess if you are a slower swimmer, they figure the turn is a bigger benefit.
If you check their 100 conversion and divide the difference by 2 (two extra turns in SCM), the turns are not as fast. (not sure of my logic here).
Anyway, as a male, I now downgrade my turn to 'crummy'. Ande was right. (age must count; old=slow).
