When you're hip snapping up on a roll from your arm being extended out, try
to bring your elbow in like you're going to squeeze something in your arm
pit keeping the elbow low as close to the side of your body as best you can.
That will help from the paddle getting too far extended out which puts alot
of the weight on your shoulder.

A recent topic discussed the injury prone high brace. I recently
learned to roll doing the Pawlata or extended sweep roll. After
practice sessions involving up to a dozen rolls my right shoulder
really hurts. The set up under water is exactly the position everyone
warns against in the high brace: arms extended over the head elbows
above shoulder etc. So what gives- how do you protect your shoulder
during the roll? And no I don't think I can learn a hand roll anytime
soon! Any advise is appreciated.
