I like some of what he writes, but I think his pitching instructions are not completly correct. Straight arm, close the hips as your hand goes thru, (rather then after release of the ball) these are just the two that jump out at me. He talks about the hand finishing up torwards the shoulder, but not sure if he met the pitching shoulder (hello elbow) or the glove shoulder.There is a very good web site called ALL ABOUT SOFTBALL PITCHING that is written by Gerald Warner ex softball pitcher and coach for 40 years. He is out of Colorado and will even answer questions by E-mail. The site has a ton of pages about any question you might have on pitching. He has a formula for stride length based on DD's height. You can find it at Pitchsoftball.com. Sorry not smart enough to do links.
