How Flat is Flat?


This is something to check before you start taking apart your "Start-up" procedure. Check that the Right Wrist is Fully Bent by the End of the Take-away and the Left Wrist is Vertical to the Ground. Extensor Action should then take your "Assembled" Power Package on a Steeper Plane Angle assuming that you're Tracing the Plane Line.

Is your Left Shoulder rotating under your Chin?

Something that you should keep in mind, is that a Flat Backstroke Shoulder turn can be too Flat. I mean that a Flat Backstroke Shoulder Turn is Flatter than a Rotated Shoulder Turn, but not by much, and, it's possible to Turn Much Flatter than a "Flat Backstroke Shoulder Turn".
