Well apparently studder stepping does Clement well as a collegian he broke the NCAA mark in this event running 47.56 and studder stepping the last three hurdles in that historic race catching Bennie Brazzell from behind.Originally posted by PowellComment

I hope you're being facetious. The homestretch was ugly to watch and Phillips almost caught him because of the studder steps.Originally posted by dal4018Comment

That NCAA final was ugly to watch as well but very exciting as he used his strength and speed to catch Brazzell from behind who was by the way an ex-olympian in this event hey if it aint broke don't fix it.Originally posted by croflashComment

It is somewhat broke when you lose that much time and rhythm when you are not supposed to.Originally posted by dal4018Comment

As previously discussed in great detail, Clements CAN hurdle with both legs very well, and does so in practice just fine, but has a mental block about it in races. He has even seen a sports psychologist to no avail. Methinks it will always be a problem. Sometimes the strides come out 'right' just naturally, and that's when he's a threat to go mid-47s. Trying to practice a stride pattern hasn't worked for him, because the variables of the day, both internally and externally, are always different.Comment

Granted but he wasn't thinking about that when he saw 47.56 neither was anyone else as stated before if it aint broke don't fix it.What if he broke the WR and studder stepped would you complain??????Originally posted by croflashComment

Marlow too bad he doesn't have Tinsley's technique but then again Tinsley doesn't have the raw speed and strength of Clement.Originally posted by MarlowComment

It's completely irrelevant because he did not so far and hasn't been particularly close. As Marlow pointed out, it is a mental barrier and hopefully he will overcome it eventually.Comment

As Marlow pointed out, it is a mental barrier and hopefully he will overcome it eventually.[/quote:jl2xe0d5]Croflash I agree I think he uses the fact that he has obvious great closing speed/strength and he knows he can catch anyone from behind what if he didn't have those two gifts would it make him concentrate more on being technically efficient a la Michael Tinsley.Comment
