I've switched strokes to use the lats more and it take a while to get used too but it's not hard to get...you'll feel a power surge I think too.
Of all the muscles that get sore from swimming, my lats never do. How do you make more use of your lats without a major elbow drop?

You are right, the lats are not primary movers in extending the arm forward but if you get your arm fully extended, they are DEFINATELY primary movers in the pulling motion.
