He had me put a piece of rubber tubing under the ball of my left foot and then with the right hand draw it tight to the my normal address. From there it was ALL RIGHT ARM up to the top. Fanning and turning. No shoulder assist or movement. We were working on my adopting the Turned Shoulder Plane at the time (I needed to understand the Flat Shoulder Turn in the Backstroke). I discovered the following

1. You need to move this up the Inclined Plane
2. If the tubing comes in contact with your legs or body, you did it wrong, you are too deep, too inside.
3. Stopping at the Top, Right Wrist bent, Left Wrist Flat, Flat agains the Plane.

This really helps working the right arm for the right forearm takeaway.

I have heard some refer to this move as pulling the cord on a lawnmower. If you have done that before,then the drill comes pretty easy.

Martee, thanks for sharing this drill! I think that it will provide great help and feedback for anyone trying to learn the RFP vs. shoulder turn. How long should the rubber hose be? How big (diameter)? I assume this is something you can get at any hardware store....

This is something I am trying to work on (RFP), since I now am way to inside on the startup and backstroke...sounds like a drill that would be good for me.

Thanks!
