I love the response from the pitching instructor...she teaches elbow to the catcher for younger students as it helps with balance etc...So I guess it isn't as important for older pitchers that have better balance. LOL. From some of the instructors I have spoken with they just brush me off as someone who has never pitched and have that irritated look when I ask questions. Unfortunately, in my experience, these folks don't really know why they are teaching what they are teaching so the tendency is defensiveness and they just tend to dismiss any questions.
Here ya go. It's pretty tame. I'm a little surprised because around here HE seems very popular, and people on that board have short fuses sometimes.
