How much rotation?

When I began to work on my front crawl, I watched all the TI videos, and maybe I'm wrong, but the rotation seemed extreme, (complete rotation from side to side). In watching a recent GoSwim video (Narrow Shoulders), using that form, I find that I slightly rotate but not much in comparison to TI. Is there a right/wrong amount of rotation? Also, how does one correct this problem - I rotate easily to my breathing side, but barely rotate to the opposite side. Is there anything else I can do other than breathing on both sides?

    fenella, thanks, that's interesting, because I definitely lock the elbow. Emphasis is really put on the full extension. How can you fully extend if you don't lock the elbow? I just watched the video on freestyle extension - this swimmer is really rotating. I'd like some opinions. czx.r.mailjet.com/.../0llku.html
