Do you (need to) do drills at all?

I personally never do drills that focus on a part of a full stroke, such as kicking alone, or one-hand stroke, etc. etc. If I want to correct/improve a certain aspect of the stroke, I do so in full stroke. How many out there share my opinion that separate drills are unnecessary, or even not helpful?

  • Drill's are great for correction. However most people tend to rush thru drills rather than focus on what they are trying to correct. When you are in a group doing drills people are usually too busy trying to stay in their position in the lane rather than concentrating on what they are doing. Now that I practice on my own I don't think about how much time it takes me to do the drill. I just adjust the interval to allow me to it right rather than fast. This has really helped me to correct flaws in my strokes.
