SwimStud:
I'm a relatively new swimmer so for what it's worth:
To me the stroke looked very good. Hand entry location was very good and extension was good but could be a bit better. There was descent vertical forearm and pull mechanics as well.
I think the problem is this. The recovery to me seemed a bit straight armed and I feel it is letting your kick get a bit out of control. You can see your legs scissor apart more than I would like to see. I think having a traditional recovery can help keep you more aligned head to toe and keep your kick tighter. Try the drills where you pause the elbow at 10:00 with the correct forearm angle of attack for entry.
Overall it is pretty good.
