What makes (according to the EvilSmith) 'a rockin' fast' flip turn? What's the focal point? Making your body as small as possilbe? (Knees to the chest). Or is it timing? Getting that distance from the wall just right so that you can launch off with maximum power. Where is the power coming from? Do you have to have abs of steel and legs like tree trunks?
I seem to be missing something on my turns, or else I am physically disadvantaged. Officially my SCM 50 and 100 free are slower than my LCM efforts. I think I must be the only person on this planet who can boast this.
To the good flip-turners out there: what is the most important thing to consider when executing a fast flip turn?

Syd,
Just want you to know that you are not the only one out there whos LCM times are faster then your SCM times. My flip turns are not the greatest either. I just keep working on them and they are slowly getting better.
