Trying to reacquaint myself with my backstroke, it seems to be the slowest to come along thus far in my comeback. From a couple angles here.

I wasn't pushing pace at all, but I didn't feel like my stroke rate was quite as shockingly slow as the video shows - that's the first striking thing! Other things I see -
-Sloppy underwater: Too deep attack angle, too much kick amplitude, bad transition into flutter kick, feet too far apart
-Probably sculling down too far before flipping elbow. This could be a lot of my stroke rate issue.
-Looks like I might not be getting my shoulders all the way rotated around before hand entry?
-To the positive side I'm pretty happy with my body position and my flutter kick.
Anything else?
It's not any kind of race/fast pace at all - just some stretch it out 50s near the end of practice, trying to maintain a "normal" stroke and not look overly pretty compared to practice or race pace. Attempting to catch glitches at slower pace to make the fixes muscle memory for faster pace.
