    Hello:

    Most of the information I have read says the paddle should exit the water when the lower hand is at the hip. Lately I have seen writings that say, that exiting when the paddle blade is at the hip might be more efficient when using a wing paddle. I would be interested in any thoughts on this subject.

    Thanks

    Jim

    Great articles on training! One concept that gets lost is posture. Even with the best intents on training, if you are training around a body with muscle imbalances present, your best efforts will be squandered away. They say perfect practice makes perfect competition, however feel is not real. Videotaping of one’s stroke can often identify asymmetrical patterns in paddling strokes. These can often be traced back to those muscle imbalances contributing to postural asymmetries which inturn cause sub optimal strokes.
