I use them to time and isolate pulls to see if it's getting more efficient.

anyone not use a pull bouy when pulling? im going to try it next practice but im just wondering now if anyone does it. ME! Though lets clarify... I have one but tend not to use it. I own two sets of paddles, but almost never use either. If I use a buoy, I usually don't use paddles; if I use paddles, which is quite infrequently, I usually leave the buoy on deck.

thanks guys ya i was able to pull without it for awhile then when my arms got tired i started kicking uncontrollably lol. seems like the with the pull bouy between your legs or bands on your ankles it keeps that from happening.

I use a pull bouy but also have used without where I have rubber tie that goes around my ankels. I much prefer the buoy cause it keeps ya boyant, but thats what the rubber tie around ankles helps develop.

I have a non existent kick, so I guess you could say I pull the entire practice. the pull buoy does two things, that I see, keeps your legs up and helps the body stay in line. as well as makes it harder to kick when you have one between your legs.
