Video technique review

Got a camera in Guam last week to record some fish and stuff. Now that I'm back home I can put it to better use and try to improve my style. Here are several clips, two from yesterday and one from today. My left hand crosses into my right side and my right hand goes way outside at mid-stroke. Not sure if this is a balance compensation but I havent been able to correct it yet 2009_1102i0007.flv video by C6C6CH3vo - Photobucket

    Steve, You are crossing over on the left, and you are over rotating on your breath. I am not sure which one is causing which, but try the one goggle technique for breathing, and try widening your entry on the left side. You want your mouth to be touching water, one goggle to be completely submerged, but I think your right cheek is feeling air when you breath which is bad. As for the entry, try entering at about 10 o'clock. When you video tape it, it will probably be a good, right in front of the shoulder hand entry. Overcompensate mentally to accomplish what you actually want physically. Technique critique is not my strong suit, so if someone contradicts me... :blush:
