Do we have any backstrokers out there that swim with a catch-up type of stroke? I have read that Lenny K. doesn't start his pull until his recovering arm is straight up. Does this sound correct? I have tried this technique in practice but it does not feel rhythmic at all.

This method of delaying the pull until the recovering arm is well on its way also keeps the body roll coordinated with the arm movements and makes the whole stroke more efficient. So many people stroke the arm before the body starts rolling.
