Butterfly, beautiful to watch, difficult to train. We SDK off every wall. We're most likely to smack hands with each other and those beside us. Fly's fun to sprint but no fun when the piano comes down What did you do in practice today? the breastroke lane The Middle Distance Lane The Backstroke Lane The Butterfly Lane The SDK Lane The Taper Lane The Distance Lane The IM Lane The Sprint Free Lane The Pool Deck

  • flyers...one thing that I notice in Elaine's fly - that I struggle a HUGE amount with myself - is a pause in the front of the stroke. It's like the hands hit (mine crash in too by the way) and then there is a pause before the catch and pull. I have tried for a long time to eliminate this pause because it puts a hitch in my stroke and ruins my timing. It makes the second kick (kick hands out) out of time with my kick and I get no power. Any suggestions for eliminating this pause of the hands in the front of my fly??? Thanks for any comments... my fly looks a lot like Eliane's but with maybe a bit more pause at the front making it look like a two stage event! Thanks, JB :) OK, anybody who uses the same font as I do after all the %$*@ I have taken from other Forumites is a friend of mine! (You must have missed all of that JB...) :D I used to come up short on my fly, not getting my arms around far enough to shoulder-width on the recovery. So, I had been working on getting them all the way around and trying not to crash; coming in for a soft landing, instead. The result is that I now have a pause in my stroke; especially on EZ fly. The pause is reduced on my race pace fly, but I still have the crash. :bitching:
