Hey - that was me commenting about backsplash! I wondered if you’d mention it…the low rate paddling here is different from the Olympic final race and all I’ll say is that I believe the concept needs more analysis. Really enjoy your videos, and I totally agree about feathering high and preparing early for the catch.
Yeah fair enough. In the same way I see backsplash in this lower rate stuff, I see the exact same backsplash when they rate high. I see a splash behind the back of the blade at the catch. For me, that is backsplash.
There are number of reason why blades close to the water are comfortable (but problematic, as you explain): (1) when the water is still, the airflow between water and blade stabilises the blade (2) when the boat rolls, the blades that come up create a strong counter force (3) psychological.- safety wheels. To still get the benefit of (1), you want the shaft to be carried almost parallel to the water but not exactly - such that this self-righting moment still exists.
I love this as a great follow up to your breakdown of Ziedler's technique improvement from 2021 to 2024. This was a big struggle for me especially when sculling. I think the Dutch rowers are great at this too and something, I think, was visibly missing in the US eight on both the Men and Women's side.
I would agree! Which is interesting, because its the former dutch coach heading the US now isnt it. The US crews didnt look as connected, and imo that is because of their blade work.

@@JackBurnsEdgeRowing the footage of the Olympic final is interesting in this regard.

Back the blade! This video was very helpful and cracked me up!😂😂😂
