I've seen a number of articles recommending immediate catch right after the entry of the hands. Video clips of competition swimmers also seem to adopt this method.
However, when I try a little bit of outsweep and downsweep first without catching and then start catching with a high elbow, it feels less tiring and just as propulsive.
What is the today's recommended manner of catching in terms of the timing?
I have a pair of TechPaddles and use them frequently to reinforce EVF. They are effective in getting me to concentrate on my freestyle catch. Time (and times) will tell if this helps.
