    DD landing leg is too soft

    Clock Position

    I continuely see mentioned on this site clock position. What determines clock position? Is it just the pitiching arm in relation to a clock? Does the other arm have any thing to do with the clock? At what viewpoint are we to look at the pitcher? is it from third base or first base?

    Lean back on Release

    How do I get my pitchers to lean more away from the catcher on release. I see Jennie finch, Cat and others almost pointing their noses in the air on release. What is the benefit of doing this?
