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?

By saying top 10 - I was never posted 10th or 9th or 8th. and I never cared. I can remember beating the #1 ranked swimmers on many occassions.
New thanks for the critique. Just wonder what is your ranking in the world???
You had to live in my shoes to understand why I did not train very hard. I swam by stroke technique only.
I happen to believe in full stroke training my opinion. You are welcome to kick your guts out along with the other guys who believe kick is the only thing that counts.
It so happened I did not train as much as others but I did well for my health situation at the time.
