So I've been trying to figure out this early vertical forearm and it occurred to me that your forearm can be vertical in two different planes: sagittal (parallel to the midline) and transverse (parallel to the plane your belt lives in). So, am I supposed to get my forearm vertical in one plane or the other or both?
Thx,

Thanks for the tips and pointers. So I want to get my forearm into vertical (the intersection of the sagittal and transverse planes) as early as possible. That means that as my arm goes from the streamline position I need to pull my upper arm down and rotate it at the same time. I was playing around with this last night (while Ellen was watching Lost) in both free air and with my stretch cords. Seems like at best I could get to vertical about the time my elbow is at about the same height as my ear. Practically speaking I suspect the earliest I could get to that position is when my elbow is at shoulder height.
Does EVF affect your roll? Make it easier or harder to maintain?
