Priority

Recommendation

Arms. Your recovery and entry is better (more assertive), but you extend your arm very close to the surface, which means that it takes you too long to get your catch, because you have to press your hand and forearm down on the water. Drive your hand deeper into the water - that will also assist with your rotation. See the Arm Stroke Setup page, and note where the swimmers' hands are as they reach full extension (deeper than their elbows, which are deeper than their shoulders).

Kicking. The rotational kick with your right leg does not seem to be as effective as the left leg. Practice vertical kicking to get them both working equally well, unless this is a problem of not having recovered fully yet from you recent operation, in which case maybe I can suggest something else.
