Does heel drive help spinning faster?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Cool Diving New Zealand : One Thread

Ok, I've gotten pretty good at diving, and now I'm trying to get a front 3 SS off the 1 meter and eventually a 3 1/2, I get real high, so now I need to work on spinning faster. I get the whole arms being thrown down that I read on this site, but what do I do with my legs? Would it help to drive my heels really hard like I was in a layout/straight position for the first few moments of the dive and then throw into a tuck? Any help o what to do with my legs to spin fast would be great.

Thanks, Leo
