I'm planning to compete Level 7 in the 2015 Optional season. I've been having trouble with my front handspring front tuck connection on floor.
The problem is, after my front handspring, I bend my legs going into the front tuck. I don't get enough rebound after the front handspring, so my front tuck is not very high. I still land it well, but my coach says I'll get at least a 0.5 deduction for my bent legs. This is strange, because three different coaches have told me three different things to solve this issue. One coach says that I need to straighten my legs, another coach says I need to reach up higher with my arms to get height, and finally the third coach says I need to rebound faster off the ground because I rebound to early. Anyway, I just wanted some of your opinions and tips, and if there are any drills I can do to solve this issue. It would greatly help! Thanks
