So far so good.... Then holding the mighty swing when I took my feet off felt like the hardest move followed by a bit of adjusting to get left hand better and finally a straight forward campus to the pocket - which i'm prbably not strong enough to do on the link .
(unless you're some kind of topheavy runt).
Are you using uptowns numbers?
Also try clamping the keel with the flat of your left foot rather than your heel
I'm going backwards on the Keel... ever since my first two sessions on it I've been getting worse. I have my sequence and I'm tickling the final pocket, but in the last two sessions I just seem to be getting worse! The RF I had well wedged in the roof slot now seems to be popping out every time.. I really dont know what I'm doing differently - the boots that seemed to lock in so well now just pop out. Grr.. I wondered if the Left Heel aroudn the back of the keel wasnt locking me in well enough, but I think its that right toe lock thats just letting me down.. hmm.. any reccomendations for some boots that work well in that slot? ps. I realise this post doesnt make too much sense - its just proving rather frustrating...
Seriously Dave?

Do you even use the slot behind the keel "fin" hold for your right foot? I thought (being a lankmeister), you could keep it in the back break till the pocket pop, off guru's intermediate? The below beta is standard for the pocket campus/semi-campus way, is it not?
Sorry - typo in previous post. Let the LF unclamp from the fin whilst going for the pocket - don't worry about keeping it in place as that might restrict reach (I keep the Rtoe in slot though... well try to). I kept the LF moving and clamped / scummed the prow with it so I could match the pocket (I end up with legs astride the prow, looking as though I'mtrying to 'hump' it!).
How tall are you, Moose? I always felt the right foot could stay in the slot, but it always seems to pop out going for the pocket.
