My Stuff to Work on (from Jackie - Video)

Note: No longer sitting up past 5 degree power position at the back of the stroke - good!

  1. Top hand is still a bit too high in the recovery - there is plenty of room under the paddle, don't lift so high.
  2. Top arm is a bit too close in to the head on entry - reach/stretch out with it just as you do with your lower hand. (Do the wrist drill to work on a stable top arm out in front.)
  3. Collapse "isn't so bad." ( Direct quote from Jackie. ;) I interpret this to mean there is a still at least a mild collapse, but that it is less important to fix than some other things right now.
  4. At the catch, keep the entire arm extended, keep the angle below the armpit to the lat open and extended.
  5. Shoulder isn't coming back enough at the exit. Need to learn how to "finish the stroke".
