Hip driven or shoulder driven? The reason I ask is that I'm a shoulder driven sprinter but have a more hip driven stroke in the 200.
I've been trying to find some speed from a hip driven stroke but so far have just not been able to come close (24.3 scy hip driven vs 23.1 shoulder driven). Is one inherently better than the other? If so, why?
Can one utilize both techniques depending on the race? Is it possible to have an effective shoulder driven sprint stroke and an effective hip driven distance stroke?

I just wanted to let them have a chance to beat me. One of the kids was Dan Sherry who was quite a young guy at the time. He switched to fly a little later on then he set the world record for the 110 yds butterfly.
Dan Sherry swam at my Club, The Hamilton Aquatic Club www.swimontario.com/news_detail.php His world record was set August 23rd 1965. He trained with me in the early 60's

Dan Sherry of Hamilton, Ont. set two records at the British swimming championships in Blackpool, England. His 58.1 for the 110-yard butterfly lowered the world record by .9 seconds, and his 55.5 for the 110-yard freestyle set a new Canadian mark.
