Billy I will impress upon you one aspect of the catch my coach put into my head that really made the lights click on. Hopefully this gif still works and I have it saved in an email my coach sent to me years ago so I could practice it at home. If it doesn't show up here PM me your email and I will forward it to you directly.
It took me quite a while to be able to get my forearm into this position, but once the muscle memory was ingrained and I put it into a full stroke scenario it was like fireworks going off in my head! YMMV, hope you can glean something good from this.

Where this can get a little dicey is when and where in the stroke do you get to this internally rotated position? Some can and do lock out their arm at full extension and can get here very well, I can't so I enter with a tiny bit of elbow bend. BUT I have zero delay of any kind and the instant my forearm is submurged I'm catching and getting ready to transition to pull through. I think in many respects the where and when of this is only something you can figure out through experimentation to see what works best *for you*.
