How fast do you guys pull (free/fly?) Seems a lot of talk about kick time, but not much about pull time.

Reading all of your responses just confirms that I am the worst kicker in the world and that my kick seriously slows me down. I am 10 seconds FASTER, per hundred, with a pull buoy (no paddles).
I don't think that means your kicking sucks, it means you have a lot of potential improvement in your normal swimming technique.
I am the world's worst kicker. My ankles simply do not bend and I get no propulsion from my feet. However, the occasional flapping of my legs when I swim does keep my body balanced so my arms can do their job.
Using a pull buoy mean additional drag and some buoyancy. If that makes you faster, your body position when swimming may need to be examined.
