Still a Place for "Old School" Double Pole?
I still feel unsure on the latest thinking regarding double pole
technique. Pete Vordenberg says: "The initial impact of the poles is when the most force is applied to the poles and it is applied quickly – it is when the most power is applied. Wham!" What I wonder about is for skiers who aren't very powerful, is there still a place for a double pole technique that has a gentler initial impact, then gradually increases pressure as you go fairly deep with upper body? In other words, has anyone shown the newer, more explosive technique to be most efficient for all skiers, or do you have to train specifically to incorporate it into your skiing? Thanks, Jon |
