The high elbow catch (90 degrees elbow bend) is professed to be better than a straight arm (180 degrees) catch, but why is that so?
Is not the arm surface area connecting with the water identical in both cases?
Physics would say they are equal surface area so it should not make a difference.

We've done drills before with a straight arm catch and I found that it placed a lot more load on my shoulders than a high elbow catch, or so it seemed. YMMV
