Need help on back/*** turn for IM!!

I have been trying out different types of turn for back/*** during IM sets. I would like to know what kind of turn yall normally use. I am still trying to figure out which one works best for me. Here are some clips of different types of turn: Clip1 Clip2 Clip3 Clip4 Clip5 I still feel most comfortable sticking with my old style: one hand touch the wall, one hand over head, then kick off the wall. Just wonder what your thoughts are! Stay Wet, Anlynn I have to say that everyone of those doing the "flip" turn in a race looks like he's dying on the pulldown (they look rushed and don't appear to have great form (ie not enough streamline before the pull, head is coming up too fast, etc.). I wonder if you lose more time doing a non-flip and a strong pulldown or doing a flip turn and a crummy/rushed pulldown. Actually, the answer is obvious--if you're an Olympian (or train at that level), it probably makes sense to do the flip turn. It's probably a closer call for most mere mortals...
