Along with I/R in The Classroom by [MENTION=551]BoardMember[/MENTION], and Lower Body Mechanics [MENTION=8694]javasource[/MENTION] it is a must read.
ETA: Brush Interference is a must read also. These are they types of things the new [MENTION=1]admin[/MENTION] should work with the authors to clean up and re-post without any of the noise.

Dittoing riseball's input. Most folks can throw 95% speed-wise by just walking into the pitch. A good drive adds that extra 5% AND puts the pitcher 2-3 feet closer which adds 3-4.5 MPH in perceived reaction time. The keys are the posture, FSR and arm mechanics at release. This gadget does little to promote good whip, FSR or posture.
From what I can tell, the beauty of this gadget is that is provides immediate feedback on the power of the drive foot strike, which can add to the efficiency of a pitcher with good FSR, whip and posture at release. Slow motion video and a speed gun can do the same, but I really think this gadget has some potential to help a PC and pitcher squeeze out that extra umph that the Power Drive fails at. With the right instruction and the cash to spare, I'm thinking this gadget has some potential.
Hoping that QueenoftheHill is a student more than a sales person and is willing to take the above input and use it to refine the sales pitch to improve the outcome of the consumers who buy this product. (And maybe someday I'll learn how to avoid run on sentences...)

I think avoiding the run on sentence is a lost cause.

Somehow I missed this thread and only saw the other Queen thread. Great point here Rise!
Every single one of them did at first! It's a matter of adjusting to the timing aspect of gaining more drive and resistance
How long before most get control back? 1 lesson or 2 weeks. Trying to figure out when to start the training between tournaments. Also, do you work all pitches off the Queen?

Save your money and buy a good o'l fashioned pitching plate for $20-30 and work on overlap and leg drive mechanics. In general, you don't need any "gimmicks" or tools to pitch well. It takes proper mechanics and lots and lots of practice.
