Backstrokers unite.
We know every detail of the ceilings where we train unless it's the sky which is ever changing.
We SDK every day. It's breath taking.
We go forwards in reverse.
We get to flip over on turns. We gotta stay on our back.
We swim back. We kick back.

If I am doing a backstroke pull set, and I notice that I start fishtailing a bit (with my legs), does that mean I am not getting enough rotation?
Probably, but a better question is: Should I do backstroke pull sets?
Except maybe on the forehead as Karl S. suggests, which I may try, I cannot see how using a pull-buoy could help your backstroke at all. Coordination between pull and kick is critical to a strong backstroke.
