I finally made it to one of the local coached workouts and all in all it was a pretty positive experience. One of the comments about my stroke was that my hand entered the water in-line with the crown of my head. I was told that it should enter more in line with my shoulder. I've been practicing with this for the past 2 1/2 weeks and it seems to have negatively affected my roll and my stroke count. I can't seem to get a good glide at the end of my stroke, and when I roll, my arm is out away from my head and seems to be creating more drag. Am I missing something here? Was I told partial info? incorrect info? or am I not looking at the problem correctly?

my coach had me do this very simple drill to figure out where my hands should enter.
cross your legs at the ankles
pull as you normally would
if your hands are crossing midline or are entering too close to midline your legs will fishtail.
move your hands out little by little untill you are no longer fishtailing.
