I was taught to "cup" your hands for the freestyle stroke. Someone in the pool mentioned the current school of thought is a relaxed hand. What about *** stroke?
Thanks,

If cupping hands worked, then things like boat oars and blades of propellars would all be cup shaped.
Higher performance kayak paddles are not cupped, but curved out at the tips!
Maybe we can emulate propeller blades with the hands?
Today one swimmer told me he manipulates his thumbs around like rudders to keep him swimming straight! :bow:
