Got this book for my birthday, so thought I'd post a little review of it here.<br /><br />It's written by Paul Thompson (GB Chief Coach, Women and Lightweights).

Don't let's go off on a tangent of blade hydrodynamics, but suffice to say that your blade is nearly at its <i>most</i> efficient at the catch, not the least.<br /><br />As far as slaps go, yes, you should keep the blades on the water. Furthermore, you should slap them onto the water, then actively ...

It's also tricky to coach as it's very easy for them to think 'move the hands quickly' but in reality...
