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?
The answer is 100% definately apart.
Try this experiment. Measure how high you can jump in the air feet together, and feet apart. You get a lot more power when your feet are apart.
This was pretty much the same exact answer I was going to give, but you beat me to it. :)
