Maybe that rule should be amended? So few guys are able to do the required steps, and if they're not going to enforce the rule anyway, why bother?
Nope, they should just really enforce it. Either do the required steps, or don;t have a jump you can't do steps into as a solo quad.

No-one force men to do as solo jump a quad if they can't do it out of (difficult) step/tr. They can do quad as combo and put as solo jump a triple, ie.
The rule is perfect as it it, the problem is on its enforcement (I hope it's not because judges can't recognize what a step or a difficult step is). I'd wish, tho, it was technical panel to call the step or not. A bit like UR: if tech panel doesn't call the step, you just apply an automatic -3 from single judge GOE.
Can anyone point to clip with a good example of steps before a quad? I'd like to learn!

I give you 2 examples here but you can watch any of his programs.
I hope so too. I am all in for difficult and diffrent quads, but even if it would be quad axel judges should do their job if this doesn't have steps : )Thank you! I should have known just to look for Hanyu as he's such a phenomenal jumper (and skater). Much appreciated.
I would think that once Jason actually lands the jump consistently he will add steps - the whole idea is for him to up his TES so why would he risk being dinged? I can see them keeping it easy for now though.
Here are the steps what Yuzuru did before and after his jumps in his SP Chopin (2 quads)Can anyone point to clip with a good example of steps before a quad? I'd like to learn!
You might also have a scenario where you take -3 for not having preceding steps but if the jump meets other +GOE bullets the overall GOE my end up being less?
Skaters used to only include a quad in the SP when they could do it as a combo because steps before a quad was too difficult but for an extremely few.
