Controversy continues

The right hand is extended completely before it enters the water, thus the weight of the arm out front acts like a fulcrum and lifts the legs. Is that because you are breathing to the left? Does it assist in body rotation or just help lift the legs? Why not do it with both hands?

I breathe on the left, I like to have the right hand extended above the water, probably a quirk. Anything to be opposite to TI. I do not like the hand to enter then come up to the surface before it went to the catch this was happenning when it entered closer to the head. The left hand does not rise to the surface before it glides to the catch.

Poolraat when your hand goes in closer to the head. If you are not carefull when you extend underwater you hands press forward and lift. This lifting at the front pushes the front up and your legs go down. I will search for a small video that shows this action and post it later. I do have a huge one and have not condensed it to show the problem.

:26 per 50 is my top end speed. Like I said before, I do get the feeling of being in the right position, but I can't hold it. Mostly, I feel like I'm plowing through the water versus gliding. My kick changes from 2-4-6 beat the faster I go. How the does that effect the body position? I can tell when my elbow drops...the water coming off my shoulder fills my mouth and prevents me from breathing.:drown:
