I am trying to improve my freestyle. I have been working on balance,timing,counting strokes.
When watching videos of world classs swimmers, I noticed that on swimmers like Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte, that their arm in the water is fully extended(straight) and angled below the corresponding shoulder. It looks as though the arm that is about to catch the water is angled to where it points towards where the pool wall and pool bottom meet. Not pointed directly down but not pointed directly straight out from the shoulder to the wall.
It seems like most of the best freestylers have their extended arms pointed below their bottom shoulder at an angle before the pull. This also appears to only happen once they have finished the rotation to that side.
Has anyone else noticed this or am I way off?
Thanks,

Terry did not start this thread he posted on it. Telling us what he thinks the problems are. I posted what I believe. Gull and Geek told what they thought. We talked about TI before Terry ever came on. He defends himself and his theory. I try to defend my beliefs. It would be a very dull site if everyone agreed with Terry, Gull, Geek or me.
I believe everyone has the right to say what they want as long as they are not obscene. Terry has the right to disagree with anything I say. I am a big boy and take anyting that is handed out and I do retaliate and Terry does also. If we could not comment that would be boring (and I am never bored).
As far as selling goes Terry make all you can your service is not free but you are giving free advice here. I also charge for my services but give free advice also.
Last week I tried to give away some books I had for cost and my post was removed. Why not leave it to the Moderators.
If they want me to disappear I will, if they want Terry to disappear he was not here before and I am sure he can do without the aggravation.
Geek and Gull are great posters and if they were to disappear it would be a shame.
It does Gile me when people defend the way Terry does sometimes, but I can also understand it.
