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?

If you look directly at your palm with your thumb in the "traditional" position and then separate it to achieve the "Roland Schoeman" position, you will probably see the total surface of your palm growing 5-8 %.
At least that is my perception.
That makes sense, but let me ask this. I have been pushing myself to feel the forearm pull rather than the hand (the whole point of the EVF I guess), which makes sense as the forearm has a much larger surface area. Should I be feeling much difference when I open my palm more, i.e. is this a sign that perhaps I am using too much hand on the pulls? Or do most people here feel a huge difference as well.
