Right Peppers. It isn't what I teach and I follow mostly what Hillhouse teaches. In fact, he really speaks against it. I love how he asks the student if they slap while walking and while throwing overhand.
It is exhausting and I like a KIS (keep it simple) approach. If I can hear the slap, it is too hard. Long term injury to that glove arm and wrist has to be a possibility. It might not show up until they are 30, though.
This comes across to me a self-generated fear to support your particular beliefs. Pitching isn't a new activity. Do you have any data to support the bold above? Would appreciate a link to such supportive data.
