Jazz Hands (Skying the blade). Fix it!!

Skying the blades is never a good thing. It causes you to check the boat, miss the first part of the stroke, put the blades too deep, go out of time, disrupt force curves... the list goes on. The main problem is that some of the reasons that people do it are quite intuitive, and we can understand why people pick up this bad habit. Once you have it you will need to work at losing it. We will explain the mechanics of why it is so bad for boat speed, give you alternative thought processes, and drills to help you get rid of them. In our Refine series, we plan to do detailed videos on flaws in rowing technique. In this video we look at Jazz Hands or Skying the blades. Together with this we will bring you content from all aspects of rowing, including, fitness and training, health and longevity, tips, trick and hacks. Lets build a community and share experience so that everyone gets the most out of this wonderful sport and lifestyle.
