coaching tips to correct skying

[sage]

One of my coaches had us do this drill. I think it works for some, and doesn't for others. Row on the feather. Right before the catch, you slap the feathered blade on the water, then immediately square up and catch. It provides awareness of how close the blade is to the water before catching and is also a good timing drill for catching together.

Like I said, may or may not be effective, but just a thought.
