TG2 is also referring to House in his latest post, and I was just trying to respond to some of his remarks...

It doesn't matter what shape the dragline is, straight line, arc, zig-zag, etc....they're all fine. What does matter is that the dragline should end on a line middle-of-rubber to middle-of-homeplate.
Yet elsewhere we read by the same theorist:
quote:
Measuring the progression of the posting foot from the rubber in distance and direction will tell you how sound a pitcher's mechanics are. Short or crooked draglines indicate bad posture, inappropriate weight shift, and/or premature rotation. The longer the back foot stays on the ground and the straighter his drag foot line, the better his mechanics.

So…. is drag theory still evolving, has the research been completed, or are we joining the chase for another wild one of these?
