I agree with Mrodoch, dynamic balance and footwork...my footwork improved alot when i consciously worked on balance...and the mechanics improved ... but , for me, balance was the first egg and mechanics my chicken. Balance, being conscious of ones balance and improving balance are key to so many life techniques... The Mechanical Checklist For All Strokes (12-3) starts with Balance (Item #1) and ends with Balance (Item #45). So, from Preliminary Address to the Finish, the entire operation depends on Balance. This, in turn, demands mastery of Zone #1 (the Body and its Pivot Components). Balance . . . It is an Essential (2-0). __________________ Yoda Yoda View Public Profile Send a private message to Yoda Visit Yoda's homepage! Find all posts by Yoda
