one more small adjustment in sequence: first hip snap then brace

Forum: BoaterTalk

question

Looking for suggestions on how to improve my roll. Video inside CintiBud New

In some you pull down first then hipsnap.

What should happen is hip snap brings boat up brace brings head up last.

What happens instead is pull down first brings boat partway up, then hipsnap brings boat up then you are left with nothing to get your head up and centered so you lean back.

Thanks - my question is how to best consciously "initiate" a hip snap? I've always just "done it" CintiBud New

Use a float bag instead of side of the pool Brysonjm New

In a sweep roll, you don't have to initiate a hip snap, your torso rotation does it automatically. <NT> Terrell New

since your torso isn't rotating, you don't have much hip snap. Rotate your torso from start position................... Terrell New

I think my offside is better because I rotate my torso more - I have picked up more bad habits on my strong side CintiBud New

I remember I took someone down the Lower Gauley years ago - after we got started he told me he could CintiBud New

Just call it your "left and right side", I know it seems silly, but language affects how we do on things............ Terrell New
