OK, this is a bit silly, but I'm pretty excited. After months of going nuts, I finally figured out wht my right leg sidekick did not feel as comfortable as my left. With my left, I felt real comfortable; I felt like I got around well and was able to explode out well, everything just seemed to fit. With my right, I felt akward, like I wasn't coming around properly, or that I was still facing my targert too much...too square. I worked on getting my shoulders around, working on getting my knee over, worked on making sure my pivot foot came around all the way. I thought I had the mechanics right but...I could just tell something wasn't right, wasn't aligned. *Finally* this afternoon, it all clicked. The problem was that as much as I tried to line everthing else up, I was still leaving my hips too 'open', My right hip was not over my left properly; it was still a bit off to the right, and this was keeping my right foot from coming out properly and just making me feel off balance and off alignment. Once I focused on getting my hips turned over properly, everything else just clicked together and it feels go and I've got a lot more power on that side now.
