Slow Reach

[bmiller3536]

I spent this weekend working on slowing down my reach into the 2,4 turns (I am LFF). I was amazed at the difference it made.

I was told that I was reaching and snatching the handle back to my hip too quick and I needed to slow it down. I could feel the effects of this, an erratic unpredictable turn. The quick reach was causing me to lose balance and it was putting me on the nose or tail depending on which way my upper body shifted. Once I started focusing on letting the handle out slowly,my offside turn was smoother, more balanced, and I was able to get into 3,5 much earlier.
