Yardbird. This is where you lose all credibility. Implying that the traditional arm path is so ineffective has been proven for 100 years to be categorically false. I can believe you/Marshall about the safety aspects but when you start on the ineffectiveness because of your theoretical ideals not being met, you lose it badly. 100 mph isn't easy but it's been achieved many times with this oh so ineffective motion. How many Marshall pitchers have reached that level?quote:Originally posted by Yardbird:
This incorrect force application leads to then wasted early energy transfer when the elbow comes around then forward as the ball is actually going backwards from “forearm bounce” causing ... a shorter drive force and rotational deceleration at ball forward drive.
You'd be better off sticking with the safety talk and the alleged positives of the straighter driveline (drive "plane"?) and refrain from the statements of how the traditional arm path is so ineffective. Injurious, yes, but ineffective, not on your life.
