HOW TO DO IT
Heel Arc: Support and Impulse Test
Identify whether rearward sitting, hand reach or rotary disturbance causes a heel-side failure.
Preparation and setting
Clean short heel tasks and predictable exit; same suitable familiar patch.
Exercise sequence
- Observe baseline and first failed phase.
- Rehearse moderate supported heel position.
- Repeat short traverse with less rearward hip displacement.
- Separately repeat J-carve with hands clear and reduced deliberate rotary impulse.
- Retain joint range through completion.
- Transfer useful change to heel-to-toe pair.
Transfer
Use in linked shape variation; do not change equipment angles simultaneously.
Errors addressed
Tail brush; Shoulder drop toward snow; Deep seated finish; Blocked release.
Success check
Specific tested change improves trace/support and does not make the next transition worse.
Simplify when needed
Restore CD04/CD07 or test fore/aft and loading separately if no improvement.
