I'm pretty comfortable doing flip turns. I can do them two ways. One way, I turn over on my stomach before I push off. The other way, I push off on my back and then use my first pull to rotate my body.
I know this is a lame question, but which is better? I can go either way.

Ooooh, I had not think about it, but reading your post I closed my eyes and did a flip turn in my mind and I realiced that I do my first pull with the upper arm!!!!...., good I have something else to try tomorrow.
thanks ande.
This is how I was taught too, I was told that when you're thinking of it as the bottom hand sometimes you pull with the top, then realized that's exactly what I was doing.
ie.. when I'm in streamline coming off the wall I was thinking of the bottom "hand" in my streamline which sometimes ends up being the top arm. lol.. oops!
then I started thinking of it as the bottom arm, or shoulder and it helped alot!
