Can someone point to a link that has good description/pix of how to do EVF (early vertical forearm)?
I have recently been changing my "short" distance stroke (for OW races of less than about 75 minutes) to have more EVF and it really seems to be working very well - it blends nicely with the TI portion of my stroke as long as I don't daydream. However, I don't have access to a coach and so I am making it up or just going on impressions at this point. I've seen some of the Olympic swimmers, of course, but they are in a very different category WRT ability than I.
Thanks,

Hey man, I feel your confusion, I had to relearn my freestyle just recently to save my poor beaten shoulders. This video, combined with some front-view vids of thorpe and hackett helped me a lot, although its a daily struggle to do it correctly. This vid is, of course an exaggeration (at least for me - my arms dont bend that way), but you get the picture. Good luck. Also, sorry about the lack of embedding, I dont know how to do that. Edit- apparently I do!
