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.

At exit your palms should be up and should rotate thru to a downward position (or slightly angled so thumb enters first) as your arms settle into the water.
pwolf, could you please explain in more details palm angles during the recovery? As I understood, during exit, fingers point backwards, little finger leaves the water first, palms are facing each other. Then palms are rotated to point upwards (fingers point outwards), with little finger being the first in the line. Then, close to the end, fingers start pointing downwards, with palms pointing backwards. Is this correct?
Thanks a lot.
