Well, the strongest weapon in any arsenal is consistency, imo. In that, oddly enough, Johnny was second only to Takahashi, taking this season as a whole. That seemed to be the game plan of his team--skate clean and rely on positive GOE to make the difference in points, since the base value of his programs was less than some of the other skaters. I admit, I prefer this, as quality rather than the "big tricks" is more important (and aesthetically pleasing) to me.
Can he count on that next season? Probably not. He's going to have to work on transitions, for one thing. That's usually his weakest point as far as PCS goes. The quad--I don't know. I'm inclined to agree with Mathman that, for Johnny, it may be a better idea to ditch it in favor of high value combinations and positive GEO. Obviously, he can do beautiful quad combos in practice, but in two years, he hasn't been able to translate that into consistent quads in competition. Not saying that it won't happen, but I would rather him work on getting his steps and spins up to level 4, with +GOE than obsess about getting 1/2 more revolutions (as compared to a 3A) on a jump.
You seemed to be annoyed that more than one person responded on the same subject. It just happened that several people are having similar opinions. Shouldn't they express them? :scratch:
