Werner,
I believe that you and CoachSuzanne are in agreement that TI does not insist lead hand stays patient until other hand spears. Part of the reason I did the experiment is that I thought I was...

CoachJamesEwart,
I tried to take video one time and wasn't very successful, so unfortunately I can't honor your reasonable request. I think you are correct that I tend to over-glide with a dead spot...

Catch timing experiment
For years, I have been using TI catch timing (TI) because:
1) I learned to swim using the TI method.
2) I knew that professionals are very flexible and I assumed I lacked the flexibility to pull off...

Not a coach. Not an expert, but I did help my friend through this exact dilemma. Your main problem is likely inflexible ankles. When you kick your toes should be pointed down. This is 90 degrees...

ZT,
Not a TI coach, but material on the TI site answers your question. 2:30 per 100M implies poor balance (to me) and that implies work on the very fundamentals. 1:20 per 100M is almost my full out...

I really couldn't make out anything other than your arms, but I do see an easy fix there. When you attack the water your elbow angle is maybe 110 degrees. That is fine. But you achieve that 110 too...
