I rarely use fins at all, but today I did a fly only set with zoomers because I am struggling with learning proper fly. It really gave me a good feel for the timing, rythm and proper body position. Does anyone else fly with zoomers? If so what percentage?
I was thinking of doing at least one set a week with the zoomers.
Does anyone who has completely mastered fly continue to use fins?
I don't understand what you were explaining here. What is "head between my arms" and how is it different than "arms behind the head"???
"Heat between arms" means arms should cover the ears, or close to it. "Arms behind the head" is what I see a lot of little kids do -- perhaps because their heads are proportionally bigger? -- when, well, the arms are mostly behind the head. (I can't explain it any better than that.) You can squeeze the arms together more but the head sticks out and creates drag.
In that case, with the fins on and going at very high speed, you can feel the extra drag that the head creates.
I have a tendency when I am sloppy to put my arms slightly behind my ears. I can feel some extra drag from that too, with the fins. Good feedback.
