Max_501 wrote:What feels 'right' is when I have pressure moving from the front of the arch (top of the arc) to the back of the arch (bottom of the arc).
Max_501 wrote:In a general sense I think of pressure as following the hips. So when the outside leg is long the hips are forward and the pressure is forward. As the outside leg begins to flex the pressure moves back as the hips move back.

Perhaps I should just ask this as a separate thread.
