Additional Uses/Tips/Support:

Improve Breaststroke Catch
- The Wrist Trainer can help drive the elbows up quickly on the breast catch
- An early catch requires some wrist bend while not too much (about 15-20 degrees)
- Use it with the Precision or Glide Paddles for Breaststroke catch
- Normal sculling, outsweep drills with these paddle options
- With the Glide paddle the out scull has to be very flat and deliberate
- With the Precision (or Precise) paddle, the catch will not allow much dropped elbow
Feedback (Swimmers FEEL / Coaches SEE / Video for Self-Analysis):
- FEEL the Wrist Trainer pressing on your wrist as you catch
- Drive your elbows forward and your fingertips down
Using the Wrist Trainer to Fine Tune Breaststroke Catch
Improve Backstroke Catch
- The Wrist Trainer can keep the elbow up to create a quicker/stronger backstroke catch
- It acts like ‘reaching over’ a line as it reminds your bend the elbow quickly
- Helps minimize ‘dropped elbow’ on the catch
- Train with single arm drills
- The Glide paddle will clean up the entry and force a strong catch
- The Precision paddle will help retrain a dropped elbow (which is often the most important on the breakout stroke)
- The Precision paddle will force you to focus more on the power from the forearm
Feedback (Swimmers FEEL / Coaches SEE / Video for Self-Analysis):
- The Glide paddle will allow you to FEEL any loss of power in the catch
- You should not FEEL the Precision paddle to try to move off you hand, even slightly

Create a Higher Elbow on Freestyle Entry
- The value of a ‘High Elbow’ Early Vertical Forearm can not be overstated for all strokes
- While the Wrist Trainer is designed to ‘train a 20 degree wrist bend’, it also helps create an EVF catch
- With the Glide paddle the Wrist Trainer helps create a straight path under the shoulder
- With the Precision paddle the Wrist Trainer helps to add focus to the forearm
- With the Touch paddle, the Wrist Trainer can improve the EVF and wrist angle while developing power
Feedback (Swimmers FEEL / Coaches SEE / Video for Self-Analysis):
- You should FEEL your wrist bend, but not too much
- The Wrist Trainer will make your strokes FEEL different… but different can be good!
