I wonder if maybe we are miscommunicating here. I'm not talking about the drag above a hole & landing on the other side.
Visualize no hole at all. When you push off with the ball of your foot, your heel naturally lifts. If you start with the heel only on the front of the plate, the push off with the ball of the foot will be the lenght of the foot in front of the plate & in the dirt. The point of impetus, therefore, will not be in contact with the plate, but will be several inches in front of the plate in the dirt.
That is what I was asking about. Not the drag in air above a hole.
