An ankle band/strap forces you to use your core to keep your legs in position (raher than relying on the pull-buoy to do it for you). It also prevents you from using your legs for balance--not even a slow two-beat kick--so, again must work harder to maintain proper body postion.
It can also make you more popular in your lane. One of the girls on my team (we'll call her K) beacme very popular when, prior to a pull set, she said to a lanemate, "You go first because I have my strap-on." :blush: She still hasn't lived that one down.
