Hi again,
I hope this doesn't annoy anyone but if there's any feedback on my backstroke please feel free to share.
This isn't my fast pace; I can sustain this pace for a set of 4X200yds, which is what I was doing although the video is truncated.

Thanks in advance,
I feel the kick in mostly in my quads, and to a lesser extent the hip/groin area. Calves not at all.
is the hand flop you see the ‘flourish’ at the end?
No I see it earlier than at the end, almost at the midpoint... but I will slow motion it in my video software.. but you have really good form with the arm.. I just think your hand is too relaxed and not getting as much out of it.. I can't really see the entry from the other video.. so hopefully another angle will help.. I think the entry probably needs some tweeking.. so that you get full extension of the arm.. and get a better catch earlier in the stroke.
one thing on the kick. kick like you are trying to keep your knees and feet together.. aaron peirsol has a really great video on the kick and rotation..
you should feel it up into the hip.. so that is good.
