Nah. It's an extra feeler for where you are, in big angle turns, when you focus on the gates rather than where your hip is and also a place where to tuck the pole when not needed . King of the hill Marcel successfully used it, more than many times, as extra support to stay upright... Racers tend to do that, in SL turns, but only to be allowed when the skier is hip to snow and won't let that hand drop unwind counter...I've never understood the hand drag. Is it a technical movement?
Hmm. after looking at myself, I figure you can open the drill book at any random page and it'd come in handy... ... Except for the one on page 11. That one is different.Maybe we can get some of the instructors here to analyze their skiing and suggests drills to correct their technique.
