That's not the title of Marc Ornstein's most recent single blade technique article, but it could be. Marc characterizes the hydromechanics of draws, pries and side slips this way:

" . . . bow and stern, draws and pries are essentially 'unbalanced' side slips, as you might say. Whereas a conventional side slip moves the entire canoe laterally (without turning it) bow or stern draws and pries are simply side slips that act primarily on the individual end of the canoe."

The actual title and the article itself can be found at this link:
