Hand position in Freestyle-Open or closed fingers?
Former Member
I have always kept my fingers together so that my hand approximates a paddle during my pull. Should I be opening my fingers a bit to increase the surface area? It might also keep the tension a bit lower in my hands and arms durung the pull.
Your input is greatly appreciated.

You're welcome.
Popov shows a very relaxed hand, thumb apart, and a narrow gap between the fingers.
It's best illustrated right around 1:35 in this clip.
