On your way to 1/3/5, in which arm do you feel most of the load?

[SkiJay]

This is worded "On your way to 1/3/5" to get away from the confussion surrounding lead arm, trailing arm, up arm, down arm, forward arm, back arm, high arm, low arm, etc. etc. etc.

 

So, on your way to 1/3/5 ...

In all honesty, I'm not sure I can tell. But I voted "equally" because I'd probably notice it if were especially on one or the other.

depends on what foot forward you are. Lefties will feel it in the right arm. Whichever arm is the away arm will have more load. The better you can keep that arm tucked against the body (handle at hips), the better you'll be.

Left arm

If I get the pull a bit more in left arm the ski will cast out better to one.

Maybe Seth will see this and comment

My instructor told us "leaning/cutting right, load right arm. Leaning/cutting left, load left arm." this seems to give me stronger, faster leverage.

Right arm. When I concentrate on left arm I tend to close my shoulders more to the boat. I'm thinking it would be better to have shoulders more open to the boat and level with a balanced load on both arms, but I'm certainly no expert.

Now I'm totally confused.

[Chef23]

I am with @Than Bogan on this I have no idea which arm feels more load.

very confusing & misleading. so I just re-read BB's handle control article to clear it all up:
