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?

I think drills are great for correcting stroke problems and reinforcing good technique.Some stroke flaws are just hard to correct by just focusing on them.A couple of examples-1)for people who kick out at the beginning of the BR kick,they are generally unaware of how much they do this.If they swim some BR with a pullbuoy between their knees-voila instant feedback.2)if the problem is flexing at the hip in BR kick then doing the kick vertically holding the gutter facing the wall will again give instant feed back.
