Styles

[edit]

I am considering making a page of the different rowing styles. Does anyone know what the one described here is called? (ie, fast hands away, set length from backchocks, gradual square, drive=legs then back then arms, square at the release) I know of at least four others:

  • English Orthodox (1800s-1920),
  • Fairbairnism (c1920)
  • Pocock Style (1948)
  • Adam Style (1960)

Do you reckon merge into this article, or create a new article - "Rowing Styles" or something. Anyway. Will start when i have more info.--Yeti Hunter 11:11, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like a good idea, as this article is on particularly big I'd start it here & split of later if necessary, try & source as you go along as it's easier then hunting for something relevant afterwards. creating "Rowing Styles" as a redirect here would also be an idea, mention it on WP:Rowing too.--Nate1481 (talkcontribs 11:18, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

how to tag

[edit]

This is a description of a stroke including naming the various parts of the stroke, without breaking it down to a description how is it possible to give the names of various parts? --Nate1481( t/c) 09:16, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

feathering

[edit]

How come feathering is mentioned in Rowing_(sport)#Anatomy of a stroke, but not a word of it here, where I would expect more detail? --BjKa (talk) 12:21, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

context and competence

[edit]

This article provides no confidence that a competent writer was involved writing it. There is no context for which this type of description of the stroke is relevant, apparently competitive rowing, but it refers nowhere to the role and movement of the seat, for example, among other technical details. I am inclined to simply merge this meager content into the rowing article. Kbrose (talk) 15:07, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What is this first sentence?

[edit]

What? Did I just have a seizure? What the fuck does this first sentence say? 136.56.50.65 (talk) 02:07, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
