Reply to "Back foot drag, good or bad?"

DK's clip shows his toe touching down which is the start of his toe drag. The fact is he touches down which sets up his drive and if the clip was not cut you would see a toe drag. The foot leaving the rubberis because he has a huge stride and has to leave the rubber before starting his drag . His foot skims the ground and touches down before it will lift off as he completes his deceleration. (not shown in the clip)
As I said the post leg provides stability and balance as the upper body unloads.
Drag line is different for each pitcher and questionable if it has any significance .
