We had a videotaping session in practice on Wed and I got some video of my butterfly. I've been trying to work on my butterfly lately but I could really use some pointers and suggestions for specific things to work on and how to work on them.
Clearly the turnover is too slow. Lack of range of motion in my shoulders doesn't allow me to keep my hands at the surface while my chest is down the way that people like Phelps do. In the underwater side view it looks like my hips sink way too much and then don't quite make it back up to the surface, but I don't know what to do about that other than a quicker recovery.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

First observation... When the arms enter you are slamming the water. Your arms from the shoulder are making big splashes. It seemed your fingers are held together I like the hands slightly opened less stress. I don't like to see the feet exiting the water on the kick. Your kick seems to be a bent knee kick almost a butterfrog.
I will try to put it into my analysis program and get back.
