Snip Then again why not perfect your roll with your hand in home position on the shaft. There is plenty of leverage from this position. I find that extending the paddle increases the strain on that shoulder in addition to the disadvantages of having changed your grip. Most people in most boats with enough instruction and practice can establish a reliable roll without changing their hand position, if they have the desire. -- Rob Cookson 3 Hats Design http://www.3hats.com *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Mon Jan 31 2000 - 21:32:40 PST
