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?
Sorry (French is my mother tongue)
I just meant that I have witnessed over time that when an age grouper faces a shoulder or an elbow niggle they are forced (like you say) to kick a lot.
Often, this kicking regiment end up having a surprisingly favorable impact on overall full stroke performance.
Ah, now I get it. Thanks for the clarification.
