Alright, we've established that dictatorial behavior can be appealing when you're doing the dictating. Now, you get to select your favourite swimming drill for any stroke and proclaim it as officially the best drill ever. Please supply info as to: what does this drill accomplish & for what stroke(s)? what is the proper technique in performing this drill (diagrams &/or video optional); why is this drill so much better than others? Equipment needed or not? Sample set using this drill; why is it the best?
Or-
Drills are a waste of time & why.

SolarEnergy nice drill!
My favorite is 6:1 backstroke for a variety of reasons. It really helps me feel the water and what the stroke is supposed to feel like. I feel the rotation of my hips and my shoulders, while keeping my head looking up. It also aids my kicking, by forcing me to concentrate on getting 6 kicks to every one pull. With each stroke, I rotate my body to the side and pop my other shoulder up and rotate the other shoulder down with my arm pull. Great drill.

10x50
odds - kick back
evens - 6:1 back
