Feet Straight Up or at Slight Angle on the wall in Flip Turn
Former Member
I saw two videos saying different about whether feet should be planted on the wall straight up or at a small angle during flip turn.
At 1'20'' in a goswim video, Glenn Mills suggested 10-11 o'clock rather than 12 o'clock

At 30'' in a Race Club Camp video, Gary Hall Sr. suggested straight up

I was wondering which one is better or in what case which one is better?
Thanks!
Before the people who are going to come in with a lot of science tell you a thousand different ways to think about it and do it - I would honestly say - the way you're most comfortable with is best.
My intuition however leans towards: Angle on freestyle, straight up on back.
That's exactly the way I was taught too!
