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?

I wouldn't worry about getting height on the breath,look at how flat Liesel Jones is. As long as you do not flex at the hips on the kick and do not raise your head to breath you will have to have some undulation. The more important thing is being streamlined for the kick. See Wayne's article "What went right with the wave breaststroke." at breaststroke.info.
Argh I need a clinic... LOL
I try to raise the hips just as I kick and then press my chest into the glide--to aim for "downhill"
I may delay my kick a touch longer and get those arms right out first.
