I find it much harder to reduce the stroke per length in backstroke than in free. In free, you can glide a long distance in each stroke, but not so in backstroke. What should I work on, the pull, or the kick, or the coordination of the hand and leg? Appreciate any comments.

a deep catch in backstroke is no longer regarded as "the way"...a shallow catch is in vogue...a la piersol.
also the stroke has flattened out. so, the best are currently swimming backstroke with less emphasis on rotation
I received an email presentation from russell mark the technical guy at usa swimming detailing this information.
