Indeed, the inner leg...! I once wondered why we should use the outer leg in the flop. With straddle and scissors it is natural (obliged) to use the inner...

I think weiareinboud is right, she is not getting enough lateral rotation. She does seem to be holding her curve and is leaned away from the bar when she...
