Thanks. I think the best angle is directly down shaft at the catch either from the stern or from the bow with the camera ahead of the boat. That's what I asked the "camera man" to do but this is what I got. I'll try to get some more footage and post soon, this vid is 3rs old.
@Jboiineate its not so much of a back as matching the oarspeed with the water speed as you enter the water. splashing is wasting energy. but yes it is more important to lock your blade into the water which is a lot better than wasting your drive and catching after you start moving your slide. there is a good article on the catch in this month's rowing news mag if you want to check it out.
Looks good, but a take from the side, not from the stern, would be more telling.

Great catch! Blades do go a bit deep after the catch... but still way way better than my catch!

Not bad you only miss a tiny bit but you create no splash so its pretty damn good.
