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!

Lindsay it sounds like you are getting it. The legs do workout fine for sure without thinking about the kick. They will just fall into place, when you keep the front end clean and kick from the shoulders and not allowing the kick to exit the water.
The kick is a little thump an A BIG THUMP and it will let you know exactly when it feels right.
