I'm not going to spend the time to go through this entire thread, but, you don't "anchor your hand", you
1.) anchor your hand and forearm (by driving the hand down in a controlled manner before pulling the elbow rearwards which keeps the elbow "up" ), then
2.) get your upper arm from the shoulder to the elbow involved (by continuing to keep the elbow "up" and in front of the shoulder) before
3.) driving the "paddle" (the combination of all the components) thru the water rearward to propel yourself forward. The "paddle" ends up appearing as an inverted "L".
Shish, I can't believe what you folks are going thru. The "M' in USMS should stand for "Mature". Get over this stuff!
During the recovery of the arm that has just completed this phase, the other arm is in the preliminary phase, so, the result should be some phase of "front quadrant", more or less.
