"Having a running dialogue about Harry Potter part 13 cannot allow you to focus on your skiing. (In ski training, there is no such thing as multi tasking)." - from an expired anonymous johnnyklister rant on why high school skiers should mostly ski alone.
Again study the videos here, here and here and especially here.

Roughly in order, things to think about while doing a double-poling technique session are:
dynamic pole recovery along same path as pole push (this should carry momentum forward
extended legs and trunk with forward lean at the ankles (flexed ankles)
here or, exaggerated if sprinting, here
pelvic tilt (hips forward, tuck tail between legs)
high hands (think "ears")
here here here
wide hands (about shoulder width apart)
here here
don't be afraid of wide elbows!
here here
hands closer to body (no Frankenstein! at pole plant the elbows joint should be about 90°)
vigorous pole plant if sprinting
vigorous crunch of upper abdomen (not flexing at the hips!)
get on top of poles (hands closer to body causes very flexed elbow and allows weight of body to "pull" poles hard into the ground)
allow knees to flex to aid crunch
don't worry about a deep bend at waist
hands should sweep at knee level or above
extend arms at elbow and quickly transition into recovery after hands reach back of pelvis
loose hands during recovery (don't grip the grip)
don't bother with long follow-through and pause. This looks good but doesn't make you fast.

OK mugglechumps, did you take my "One of these things is not like the other" quiz?
