Kink Form

[judoboy]

i did some work on kink form last night and made some improvement. i have been struggling with 7" stuff, so i practiced with about a dozen 7"x3/16" CRS, then 2 pieces of 7"x3/16" taped together. i also found that making my wraps alittle thicker helped my form.

i had a bash at an IM yellow and the kink was easy, i got it to 90 deg but couldn't crush it. next time it will fall.

Nice progress..I'll trade you my crush for your kink, since I can barely kink a Yellow but can crush a Blue. If that Yellow is kinking easily, continue to explode into it and get it past 90 degrees then quickly hit it to crushdown. You can hit the 90 degree piece hard a few times next workout and if it doesn't succumb immediately it will be good ISOS for you.

How much easier, if at all, are two 3/16" x 7" CRS compared to the Yellow ?

Anyhow..I'm soon picking up 40 ft of 1/4" HRS just to work on my awful DO kink as I can kink that stuff but not CRS. Crushdown on 1/4" HRS is trivial so I won't crush them right away in hopes it is harder once they cool and reset.

I believe I finally have some plastic for ISOS (stretching and positioning) like your very talented countryman, Gazza recommends.

Best of luck.. neilkaz ..
