Ep. 2: Delivery, Position & Scoring
21m
In Episode 2, Justin Maass gets into two of the most debated topics in breakaway roping: delivery and horse position. Maass breaks down why "throwing" your rope is the wrong way to think about it and why the delivery is simply an extension of your swing. He also tackles the get-inside-the-left-hip trend head on, explaining why nose on the tailhead is the right call for most ropers and what separates the handful of elite athletes who can make the other style work. Jimmie Smith works through a delivery habit she's been fighting since Logandale, and Kayla Graham gets a lesson in scoring and what happens when the lean creeps into her nod. The banter is good, the coaching is better, and the run feedback is the kind you'd normally have to pay for.
