I have been watching some underwater footage of fast backstrokers, and I noticed that most seem to finish each underwater arm stroke with their palm facing their leg. I think I finish with mine facing the bottom of the pool. Is this a sign of a stroke flaw or is it just a quirk? Thanks for any insight!
I also finish palm down. I tried the palm to the thigh and noticed that you get a quicker recovery and the hand naturally exits the water thumb up. It also feels like a little better propulsion in the final part of the stroke.
