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:

My Early Vertical Forearm stroke has evolved to my elbows barely below the water surface .....with the forearm at about 5 - 10 deg. to perpendicular to the bottom.....creating some lift. I will concentrate on perpendicular (no lift) to see what the outcome. No pain, all gain......with back, chest and more major muscle groups doing the work......I'm flying through the water! :banana:
Bamiller.......I felt like I was going to drown the first few lengths when I radically changed my stroke.....then discomfort, advil, physical rehab (at home), and 90 min. workouts 5 days a week for a few weeks ......now I'm enjoying refining the most efficient EVF stroke for me.
