Straight Arm v. Bent Arm Recovery

Which recovery do you use for freestyle and why? I have been a traditional bent arm recovery swimmer for years. Lately, I have been trying a more straight arm recovery(not totally straight and locked out like Michael Klim) I don't know why, maybe it's because it is different and I don't have the same expectations that I do with my normal stroke, but having more of a straight arm recovery has seemed to help me clean up my entry on the left side. This could be cause I am not thinking as much about it and just letting it flow. Or it could be more efficient for me. I don't really know at this time. Thank You for your feedback. David

    oooops, I am the first to vote, it is 00:26 midnight and I am still in the forum. Before I go sleeping, I have to say that I am in the same process like you. I have a super hi-elbow recovery and trying to fix my hand entry. By the way what is your best 200 free (your favorite event) and how old are you?
