All the other transitions seem pretty straight-forward to me, and I think I get off the wall pretty quickly on those, but for some reason I feel like I'm hanging on the wall too long on the back-to-*** and I just know I'm doing something wrong.
Should I be facing the opposite wall when i let go of the wall? or is facing the side ok?
Anyone have a trick or a technique for getting feet on the wall quickly?
Any help or advice you all can give is greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys!
Isobel - I work hard on these "stroke turns" to get my hands off the wall before my feet touch.
I imagine a rocking horse motion if that helps in the description.

I can see that that would help the torquing. I need to practice this transition a lot too. I kind of like the flip turn alternative, even though it sucks away air. I've never done the flip turn at a meet, just tried it at practice a few times. Easier not to get DQ'd with that turn, I think, since you are clearly on your back, then flip clearly onto your stomach.
