Michael's method is very interesting and makes a lot of sense if you're
going to paddle feathered. Unfortunately, up until now I've never known
or heard of anyone who teaches that way.

It's been discussed on Paddlewise and is probably relatively new in teaching.
I don't think you'll find it in any organization's orthodox teaching method
yet.

It's the sort of thing I realized I was doing without being taught. The
idea of using my right hand to control the left blade when sculling seems
rather odd when you think about it. Ditto controlling the offside blade
with the onside hand in an offside roll. By using this mirror control
for things like rolls, it gives you a mirror approach as you suggest
without switching to an unfeathered paddle.
