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.
Rob -- can you tell me a link to see what TechPaddles are? I am trying to learn the proper Catch time and technique and these may be of help to me. Thanks
