People, thanks for the replies
I'll be sure to try the exercises suggested, tho' i'm likely to embarrass myself a little having the student watch the ball while i demonstrate a perfectly co-ordinated turn entry/exit <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
I suspect that such sequences will serve to demonstrate that one's feet arent just there for taxiing, but the 'feel' will only come with time.
thanks again,. .dave
