don't all preach feet the feet under the hips? That seems to be a trait of all schools? All seem to have a slight variation with the end result the same, some folks do better with one or other method. .02

Technique discussion in a tuning thread. What a long strange trip it's been!

Let me rephrase my question. But first, Clendenin always looks centered and he's built that into his skiing. Keeping your feet under the hips is the result of doing other actions, and, we mortals have to bring our feet back under the hips. Harb teaches the concept of active pulling back of the feet at the moment in a turn where your skis are flat, and, that way centering gets built in.

Does John teach a method for re-centering between the feather and the touch? Do you just delay touch until centered. I'm sure there is a lot of practice involved.
