I have trouble flipping directly over and landing on my back for the push off. I usually flip diagonally and do an immediate corskscrew type of push-off. Are there exercises (possibly using some sort of swimming gadget) that can help me correct this flip turn flaw? -Jon
I also do a corkscrew type of turn - the way I was taught in the 70's. Why is it now preferred to flip straight and then turn on your belly? For me it seems to be slower. :fish2:
Done perfectly the corkscrew is not necessarily slower,but it is very easy to have some hesitation as you push off.If you can do it without hesitation,great,but that is a very common flaw that I see frequently at meets.
