I think so. I used to find it difficult to achieve 17 spl at any stroke rate, but now I can do that at will. The stroke rate is slow, but it shows that my balance is better.

It's the first time I've looked at this thread. Excellent.
However, the "nod your head" thing really does my head in. Where I live, you nod your head (up & down!) to indicate "yes" and you shake it...

Hi Zenturtle
I see what you mean about my right kick being stronger and more effective. I hadn't noticed it before. And now that you mention it I remember that in my 2-beat kick drill, my left kick...
