    I'm thoroughly confused by this discussion. In Jonty's article he was talking about how the new suits allowed the less efficient but more powerful "straight arm catch" versus the "high elbow catch" (emphasis mine) It seems to me that all the discussion above concerns the straight arm or bent arm recovery. Quite a different thing altogether. Am I mistaken? Rich...Geek and I kinda highjacked the topic. You are right...we just took it in the overwater phase of the stroke.
