How many use the early vertical forearm method?
How many believe it is less prone to shoulder injuries?
I tried it for the first time today and it wore my butt out! I did feel like I had more surface area to pull with and the force felt more horizontally directed toward my feet. I have a lot of work to do if I continue to adopt this stroke method.:bolt:

It is hugely necessary to nurture the shoulders while you are transitioning into this style of freestyle. Good posts on the shoulder exercises. They were the exact exercises I was given from a very expensive, but school sponsored doctor. The one thing to remember throughout this transformation is to keep your kick going. Too many people I talk to about swimming like this, concentrate on the elbow or shoulders and forget the kick.
I liken this concentration of learning the proper fast freestyle technique to learning the golf swing. Good luck.
