Just wondering. How many of y'all are using the front quadrant swimming technique? I have been using the book and DVD-Total Immersion and trying to adjust my stroke. When I do the stroke correctly it is so much easier-effortless. I feel like I am able to reduce the drag I create when swimming the way I was taught to swim years ago. I'm interested in anyone's experience with FQS. Thanks:)

When you throw a powerful punch you are transmitting force from the ground-foot interface to your hand. Picture a martial artist floating in zero-gravity environment.
Stand up and simulate a front crawl pull. Now sit down so that your hips are immobilized and try to repeat the same movement. Note the much reduced range of motion, just as if you simulate a golf swing, baseball swing, punch while keeping your hips immobile. Those of us with a tendency for shoulder problems will probably also immediately experience shoulder pain as we try to go through the crawl arm action without moving our hips.
