I took some video of a friend including this clip of his breaststroke. Unfortunately I don't swim it much myself and haven't studied it much or sought out good videos with model strokes. Could one of you breaststroke experts comment on his stroke?

Also, do you know of any good youtube videos that show good breaststroke relatively close up? Most of the race videos are taken from too great a distance to see a lot of detail.
Thanks!

Although not great videography, here is his breaststroke in front view.

that video further confirms my prior analysis. his breaststroke definitely is flat and has no undulation. he's definitely doing a plie at the wind-up phase of the kick. he's definitely pulling only to the outside and not pushing downward at all.
