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?

Feet apart probably has better implications as far as being able to get the knees apart and tuck better on the flip. As soon as you push off though, the feet should be together until the SDK's take place.
