Sculling technique - how Marqus can fix his catch (advanced video analysis)

Marqus sculls very well, no doubt. However, the way he prepares his catch position will prevent the @PennAc rower from picking up more speed. Especially when stroke rates go up, it will be very difficult to keep the timing of the catch right.

I would like to see slightly less layback and smoother/quicker hands out of the corner followed by a more controlled slide into the catch. Quicker hands/corner allows you more time on slide so as not to rush into the stern- eliminating checking the hull speed. Too long of a delay at the finish can also make you feel the urge to make up rate on the slide. The rowers exaggerated layback is also driving the hull down into the water ( bobbing the hull) vs keeping it moving forward on one plane. So slightly less layback, quick hands around the corner to arms away...then body and slow slide. Another way to keep the shoulders from rising at the catch ( and risk driving blades to deep) is set the blades with a rise of the fingers rather than the hands or arms. I think this would be relatively easy for the rower as he has a light loose grip already. Lift the fingers into the catch forward of the knuckles. All this should let you row a little more elegantly, reduce hull bobbing, and also reduce stern check. Good luck!!!!

Great analysis. Marqus's oarlock height looks pretty low, thus I think he should increase it by quite some margin, possibly in two increments to get used to it. This should help him doing his entire handlework to a more elevated level, and gives him the space he needs to prepare the blades for the catch. Once he is familiar with such a new setting it would possibly be the best to make another video, as quite some other parts of the stroke like the shoulderwork might change automatically as well.

Thank you for the suggestion. Was planning on experimenting with the oarlocks anyway since I need to replace them.

@@thethug89 Good idea, try (very) different setups to experience the variation it does to your rowing, but then settle for some moderate setup that really fits you. Your current low oarlock height looks like that of someone who is not yet fully familiar with single sculling, thus needing the contact to the water in order to feel comfortable and safe. I don't think you need this any longer, thus I recommend to aim for an oarlock height clearly higher than what is shown in the video.

Not a frog It’s currently set as centered as possible. I will set more spacers underneath to see the effects.

Fantastic that you are sharing your experience and expertise with us! Just starting to row i am told not to lean back too much; waste of energy. Could it be the case for Marqus?
