After almost a year of foiling, I'm finally starting to get a few foiling jibes, but only going goofy to regular. Going regular to goofy, the foot switch feels like my new front foot (right) never wants to go forward enough and my new back foot (left) never wants to go back enough. Also, even when I do get the right foot forward enough, I can never seem to find the strap. (I've been trying strapped.)
Anyway, for those who have mastered the move, which way is easier for learning it -- strapped or strapless? I like having the strap to aim for with the new front foot, but I'm wondering if I might do better with a little more margin of error that a clean deck will provide.
My bigger problem is likely my confounding inability to turn my hips during the foot switch, but that's a question for another day.
Thanks in advance.
