I find it nearly impossible to evaluate my own performance without the nearly instantaneous feedback provided by the knotmeter. Of course, you can use a professional to observe and offer suggestions or you can use video recordings to help self evaluation, but again, I find the speedometer more effective and faster. At my age, nearly 73, I prefer the immediate feedback. Up until last year I was racing against 50 year olds and frequently came in first or second. I credit the use of the knotmeter for any success.
