It’s very common for the toe pull to be performed poorly, largely because people become fixated on float time, rather than understanding how the float actually occurs or what builds consistency. That mindset tends to lead people down the wrong path, stepping off the wall, swinging the hips, or shifting the shoulders, all in an attempt to “find” balance. But the skill isn’t about chasing airtime. It’s about learning how to organise the system.
At its core, the toe pull is a problem of alignment and control of the centre of mass over the hands while the hands learn control and leverage. The body should behave as a single fixed unit, while the hands become the mechanism that manages balance. You initiate the float by subtly pressing into the heel of the hand, which shifts the centre of pressure forward. Then, to return, you catch through the fingertips, pulling yourself back toward the wall. Throughout this, the centre of mass should remain stacked over the hands. There should be no need for manual corrections from the hips or shoulders. Once those segments begin to move independently, the system breaks.
So instead of rehearsing compensations by swinging the hips and shoulders or stepping, start building control from the base of support.
