How much coaching?

One focus at a time, with space to respond. Gentle waits for the same issue on 4 of 6 evaluated strokes, Balanced 3 of 5, and Frequent 2 of 3. Saved on this device for your account.

Timing evidence contains transport and paint measurements only. Download before stopping the camera; stopping, retrying, changing account, or leaving the page clears the run.

Sensitivity

RowCoach's recommended sensitivity works for most rowers. The manual setting changes opening the body early, shooting the slide, bending the arms early, insufficient layback at the finish, incomplete arm draw, pausing at the catch, uneven handle path, and posture dropping. Overcompression at the catch, excessive layback, bending the knees early, and rushing the slide keep the same settings. Use the manual override only if it repeatedly flags correct technique or misses obvious faults. Higher sensitivity flags smaller deviations; lower sensitivity is more forgiving. Advanced sensitivity override Manual sensitivity Extended layback tolerance (40°) Recommended: 30° behind vertical. Only enable this setting if your coach has approved a deeper layback. RowCoach's recommended setting teaches efficient technique for most rowers.
