Stussy told me to swim with a tennis ball under my chin to get used to not moving.
anyone else tried this? Or hae other drills and a set for such?
I was just gong to do some streamline, turns and pull outs work and throw in 4x 50 with the tennis ball. Slow at first and try to add speed.
Then move into my regular BR work.
Thoughts?

Seems to me that would put your head in an unfavorable flexed position for the stroke. Unless you have an unusually long chin or extremely prominent Adam's Apple, that is.
I hear that. I'm just trying to eradicate the throw up motion...over correction for a bit might help overhaul me into a neutral position.
My big problem is either timing or lack of flexibility in getting my torso clear enough to breathe. Possibly I am just a flat stroker, and thus sucking in some water due to not clearing the surface properly.
