I have heard so many comments about what makes a good stroke. What is the most important phase?
I believe it is the catch to finish phase. I know all are important but the one I believe rates #1 is the catch to finish.

I answered this along the lines of "if I sucked at everything else, which would make me go fastest?"
I think more than anything else what matters is how your strokes transmit force against the water. That occurs catch to finish. Your hands could enter sloppy, your kick could be bad, etc. but if you transmit power well you'll move forward quickly.
