Crew – Uneven catch

Mistake:

The catch of the different rowers in the crew is not the even.

Observe:

Blades: Look at the catch similarity of the blades.
Oars: determine that the stroke lengths are equal.

Cause:

There can be several reasons for this:

1.	The individual technique is insufficient to make a good catch, see the catching errors.
2.	The sliding is uneven, making the catch uneven (Uneven recover).
3.	The rowers pay insufficient attention to the stroke.
4.	When there is a difference in the directness of the catch within the crew due to individual technical ability, there is a difference in speed between the catches.

Conse-
quence:

Uneven rowing, little synergy in the crew. Speed loss. If the force at the catch is considerable, the rowers who asked to catching experience a severe back strain. This creates the possibility of back injuries, because they have to bring the boat up to speed on their own.

Remedy
boat:

Of course, the individual technique of the rowers must be sufficient to make a good catch. Place the rowers that are most even on the stroke positions. Possible exercises are:

1.	rowing with individual (and thus possibly different) accents where each rower is given an accent to compensate for his deviation from the crew;
2.	have rowers row with their eyes closed and listen to the (similarity of the) catch (Eyes closed rowing);
3.	rowing with collective accents (Rowing with emphasising);
4.	the exercise: Stroke against crew.

Feed-
back:

By ear, by the sound of the catch. Visually by looking at your own blade in relation to the other blades.

Cox
chair:

The blades of the rowers do not enter the water exactly at the same time. The sound of the catch should be even.
