Fastpitching
Well, in my opinion, the jump-drag method for a beginner is not the way to go. You gain absolutely no speed (in fact you probably lose some) because there are too many things to synch up. The only advantage is that the release point is closer to the batter, thus giving a relative speed increase...- Magic
