I tried something different tonite while stropping .I use to pull the strop to the middle of my stomach and strop in a north and south direction.So tonite i pulled the strop off to my side as if i was standing in the center of the strop and stropping east and west, it seemed to be easier and i could get some speed generated on my way to 100 laps.What do you folks do? or was i stropping incorrect for the last year,or what ever blows your dress up!
