Try - adjusting the feet an inch back, and then give it time. 1x Sculling is a delicate skill that requires a lot of persistence. The front end connection is key, rehearsed at medium pressure, square-ish blades, legs only-ish, done for miles of "self-coached" education of how to get cleaner, remaining loose (no twitches) in the arms, and more powerful in the squeeze. Bladework: You want your two sculls to do what a pair in a top eight do with their oars.
Thanks very much for this - I'm going to ask my coach to have a look at my foot position when I'm next out (this video has clips from me with lots of different footplate positions, as it's something I'm playing about with to try and dial in atm). Love the sound of this drill - I'll give it a shot!
@@MaxSecunda You need about 6-8" of hand uncrossing at the back end, (space between the thumbs at the extraction/ round-and-away) to be able to get the hands clear without worry about trying to pass the hands through the same place- I advocate leading the left hand clear of the right following behind/under on the same level. If the left hand can freely go low, then balance becomes so easy. (easier). Easier balance = more poise at the entry = more certainty over the draw of the boat up to the catch, and of the press of the feet away after entry. Have fun!! Loved your adept re-floating post swim. V useful.
blades too deep and u seem to be struggling with pushing the legs down, you seem like you would be more comfortable with being more open in the back of the stroke, also feels like you use your arms for a little in the start of the drive, try to feel the blade connect with the water before you begin your drive
So excited for the upgrades
Keep it up😀I'm enjoying the same journey
Loving seeing you do some sculling!
