Hi,
I'm a butterfly beginner and currently having problem with my hips sinking too much when my arms start with the recovery. I posted some videos at my blog (http://blog.grkovic.com/?p=30) Hips sink so much that first downkick barely lifts them above them the water. Sometimes, they don't even come out.
If anybody would have any suggestions, I would appreciate it a lot.
Thanks.

Man, that hurts to watch. It hurts because I am a flier, a hasbeen flier trying to recapture something. But I have no endurance for it now and my kick is weak. I can feel myself down to my last three strokes watching that.
But you have some serious power in the upper body and I would think decent endurance for it. I think you could become a good butterflier with some technique improvements to get the lower body straightened out and in sync. I know the big knee bend is a problem but I am not qualified to offer advice around here. I have plenty of questions of my own.
