I would not consider a back foot drag good or bad in the sense that it depends on what the pitcher is like. If he has a little less flexability, it may actually help with hip seperation, thus creating more torque and more velocity. on the other hand, if he is flexable enough to not need it and still get the same hip seperation, then it would be unneeded. It really depends on the type of pitcher because i have seen many successful with drag and still some who do without it. many great points by the way i just thought i would put in my 2 cents
I agree with you,,it DEPENDS on the amount of drag and the type of pitcher,,I have a kid with foot drag that almost rips his toe off..he's a senior throwing 85..his drag is so prevelant it slows him down ,,most pitchers do drag a wee bit..
