Drills???

The short answer is no...but it depends on the drill, what expectations you have from doing the drill, and the level of difficulty in executing the drill. If a particular drill calls for 10 reps, and you can do all ten perfectly, then there is no reason to try for more repetition. I see many students who, when directed to do 10 reps, insist on trying to do 100, mistakenly believing that they will learn more quickly. That runs counter to most structured learning proocesses, and becomes counter productive for the student.

Because of the layering of myelin in the insullation of neural pathways, which helps to establish the proper firing sequence for our muscle memory; you can loose efficiency if you don't revisit a programmed aspect of performance on a regular basis. The neural pathways experience a slight degradation over time if not regularly coated.
If you are 100% with a specific drill, then I would briefly revisit that drill perhaps once or twice a week to keep the pathways coated and firing properly.
Wait more than a month and you may lose a little ground.
If you don't know about myelin, you might wish to read the "Talent Code" to learn about its effects.

Very good Posting Rick!
If you re for example perfect with one drill- then it makes sense to create an advanced version of it.
How Scott described it great (as usual :thumbup
to practice the right way is the key. If it s about burning in fundamentals, creating/or working on stroke ablities (straightness, finisheing, staying down etc) -then there are other aspects like muscle memory etc - Then it s also allowed to make special practice drills in higher repetitions and also recommended.
Progressive drills are a good choice- but never forget to also play. Practicing is important-but also there should be a balance with playing the game
