Immediate catch or catch after a little outsweep?

Mind you: All this applies to "my" Freestyle only which is my real non-alter-ego (1stroke) Read a lot of the EVF-related articles and then went in the water with my eyes wide open (literally and figuratively). I realized the following (bearing in mind that I always breathe on the left and that I breathe every cycle, except on the first pull-out stroke after start or turn glides): 1- my right arm's elbow is, and always has been, bent at 87 degrees (well, almost 90. I didn't carry a protractor). Therefore, I always -naturally- EVF'ed on that side. 2- my left arm is a lot straighter. The elbow bend, although there, is a lot less noticeable. Then, wanting to develop the ability to breathe to my right (not so much for balance, but to get the ability to do a back somersault in freestyle if I reach the turning wall on my left hand, after a quick breath to the right. I'm borderline emphysemic and I need that last breath before turning on my back and doing a back somersault) I started doing one arm drills: right-arm pull, breathing on the right. I could achieve a pretty good clip, while still not going all out but, working on the torso and head swivel (creating a trough) and concentrating on EVF and a good full stroke. 25m at a good clip, breathing every two strokes and doing it (the 25m) in only one cycle more than when swimming normally. So far so good, then .............. I tried the reverse: How would I do, doing one(left)arm pulls, breathing on my natural left-side? One word, thee letters (for an adjective) or five letters (for an adverb), bad or badly (take your pick). My left arm had less than half the propulsive power or efficiency of my right-arm. Some things I resolved to do (between yesterday and this morning)***: Work more on left-arm one hand pulls (to strengthen that arm) in the water and on dryland. (I don't do any wetlands work). Work more on right-arm one hand pulls (to breathe more comfortably on my off-side). Once this (2. above) is achieved, work on my back somersault, arriving to the wall on my left-hand. While doing 1. and 2. improve my right EVF and create a left EVF. Therefore I just ordered a pair of Techpaddles. techpaddle.com/techpaddle_specs.pdf and will -eventually- report on how effective they are and how they're affecting any aspect of my swimming.Has anyone here (USMS) used those TechPaddles? Report? Views? Comments? *** P.S.: The resolution took place between yesterday and this morning. The doing will be over the next days, weeks, months and hopefully less than decades. Now, off to the pool and then to the office.
