Ok, one more freestyle arm question

I am so disgusted--I've done the TI drills, had lessons, had swim team college kids give me tips, yet I still just can't seem to get the freestyle arm action right. Do you exactly move your arm in the recovery phase the same as you move it in the fingertip drag drills? Or do you do a wind up motion of your shoulder to bring the arm out of the water? No matter what I try, I am so pathetically slow--more often than not, I am feeling like it is all wrong. I am a good breakstroker and decent flyer, and great backstroker, but geez, I need to be able to do the free - I swim about 12 miles a week. Any tips are sooooo appreciated.:bow:

    I don't think any of you know what is meant by EVF. If done properly you should not have shoulder problems. If you do,- consult with Tom let him explain it to you. His concept is nothing like what most of you are talking about. Here is the link be sure to watch all 23 sections of this www.authorstream.com/.../ On the contrary, Geo, this is exactly what I was talking about. I haven't seen these slides before, but they are truly helpful to explaining it to age-groupers who are having a hard time understanding the concept of EVF! So, thank you for that!
