FINIS Forearm Fulcrum Hand Paddle

With such a strong early response from World Champs trials and Coaches conferences world Wide, the Forearm Fulcrum is looking to be the hottest new swimming technique product of 2007. So what is the Forearm Fulcrum and what will it do to improve a swimmers stroke?

The issue at hand here is called EVF or Early Vertical Forearm. Every coach has dealt with the frustration of a swimmer who constantly grabs a handful of water, inefficiently drops their elbow and throws their hand back. Even if you teach a swimmer to get a clean entry, plane their hand forward, and start to press down with their finger tips, they can still wreck the whole stroke by yanking their hand back. Ideally a swimmer should press their hand, aligning it with their forearm by lifting their elbow, thus creating a single blade from the elbow to the finger tips. This allows a swimmer to take advantage of the entirety of their hand and forearm creating a vast improvement in the effectiveness of their stroke.

What it does!

The Forearm Fulcrum paddle improves the efficiency of a swimmer's stroke by holding the wrist, elbow and shoulder at the optimal position while focusing on technique development opposed to strength building. The Forearm Fulcrum paddle is designed to complement paddles, by improving the stroke technique across swimmers of all levels, but particularly in unskilled swimmers.

The Forearm Fulcrum paddle has two closed sections. One of the sections fits around the forearm, with the swimmer placing their hand in the other closed section. The process of placing their hand through the two sections creates an ideal elbow / wrist angle during the 'catch' phase of stroke initiation. The act of creating this angle corrects the stroke technique of the user, teaching 'muscle memory.'
