Hi everyone!
I have a problem with my flip and lutz and was wondering if you might have some tips to fix the issue: I don't transfer my whole weight onto my left foot (I'm a lefty) and end up either jumping from both feet, just from my right foot or in most cases popping the jump. I'm not sure if it's a mental block or not but I just can't seem to do it. It usually works better when I do my entries slower but as soon as I build up speed I'm back at square one. I've always had this problem but it's gotten progressively worse over time. I've already tried different entries and lots of off ice practice but so far nothing has helped. My coach thought i might be leaning too far forward and also "sitting down" instead of standing upright before doing the jump but after fixing those problems I still can't transfer my weight properly. What am I missing?
