Does anyone have a reference to explain how ya do a reverse screw roll?   I've run across a single pic but unlike all the other rolls that show numerous illustrations of the different stages, I can't find a reference that shows the stages of the reverse screw roll.  I tried it a month or so ago in the pool and I was messin' something up but can't figure out what.  I think I was challenged leaning back far enough or sinking my paddle.  Somethin' like that.  Frustrating.  Thanx.

We're probably talking the same thing.  Here's a reference:

What they are calling a screw roll is just a botched version of the Sweep Roll. As for doing a reverse version of the sweep roll, it is possible but not really practical. It is not very useful and difficult to set up for.

Just learn how to do a normal sweep roll, backdeck roll, and a Back Deck hands roll and you will have all the rolls you will ever need.

Also, was it just me or did pretty much every roll on that site look like they were just doing C to C rolls from different angles?

Do you have a reference for the backdeck roll?

Mmmmm....warm buttered roll is best!

Cool.  This is really helping!  Knowing it's called a back deck roll or reverse sweep and the reference to Ken Whiting really helps.  Your hyper-link was fantastic and furthered me to http://www.boatertalk.com/skills.php?id=126.  Can't wait to try it out now.  Thanx!
