A week ago, in a class, the instructor talked about placing the paddle in the water at your toes, and removing it from the water at your hip. He gave a quick explanation of the physics of taking it out at the hip rather than a longer follow through, then went on to another topic. I meant to ask him about it back at the take-out, but forget, now I can't even remember the quick explanation. So.... what are the physics here? Why do you lose efficiency if your stroke extends past your hip? It was something about water compression versus lift?????
