Best Breaststroke "Feel" Drills

I guess Jeff and Carrie and Allen will have to answer this since there are a lot of non-breaststrokers out there.:wave: The fastest breaststroker on our team always does breaststroke fist drill in meet warmups to find his stroke and ensure a good swim. I've tried it and think it's a good drill, but it doesn't seem to be the predictor of a great day for me that it is for him. Does anyone else have something they rely on that I might steal? Breaststroke is such a finesse stroke that it would be nice to have something to help everything click in even when I'm nervous. Thanks for any wisdom in advance! A drill I like to use is the count drill. In prax, to get my timing put together, I do a complete stroke and then count 1-2-3 (in the streamline position) and then do another full stroke, 1-2-3-, etc. Meet days, or during races, if my timing gets off, I do the same thing, but with a 1 count. It's pretty close to the real stroke and gives you a chance to get your rhythm back together. :wiggle:
