There seems to be a shift in the marketplace, or should say a new player on the field.
You know...All I care is, what's in it for me. How can I, and other kettlebellers benefit from this.
Dragon Door has been dominant, they have produced some amazing results for people of all ages, sexes and persuations. My hat is off to them! Pavel and the DuCane's got it down pat. They are very good! Success has its privilage.
This new player has some interesting differences. The "New Swing" for sure, the snatch, yeah, its based off the "New Swing", but what I got out of it was the pace of the workouts.
I rush through everything, so when I learned the method most used, time and rpm measurements, I kinda liked it. The new swing...you use "Pro Grade Kettlebells" and you grip it a little differently, with your fore finger and the thumb mostly and you let your head follow the kettlebell.
This seemed to put more emphasis on my hamstrings and gave me a little more momentum on the pull portion of the swing...and snatch!
RKC, AKC were all in it together, so I say experiment, find out out works for you. I plan to do what works...so in my mind, there is plenty of room for everybody!
Thanks for the Introduction Charley!
