It seems to me that when I make contact and push off with my feet and knees together (and everything else is correct) I get much farther out than when I have my feet seperated, say 12-18" apart.
I think there is some drag created, with the seperated feet/legs, on the pushoff. More power can be generated with legs seperated to shoulder width, but if the drag cancels the benefit of the stronger pushoff, than all you are doing is getting more tired.
Anyone else notice this?
People keep telling me that I should push off the wall with my feet apart as if I was pushing off the ground on a squat, but years of hitting with my feet together and pushing off that way has left me unable to create that new habit.
