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?
As a matter of fact, I don't know what your experience in coaching kids (age groupers) is, but often, when a kid is forced to not pull, then need to spend a lot of time kicking.
Could you try and finish this thought? Because it's very confusing and I have no idea what you are trying to say. If a swimmer is forced to not pull, then there's pretty much only one other way to to get across the pool.
