In my time reading and posting on this forum, I've read all kinds of critique and criticism. A recent question that I saw in a post led me to this thread. From the following list of common flaws, which ones do you consider to be show stoppers? Which ones should we accept as tolerable variance? I understand that there are different levels of severity that can make a fault more or less critical...so lets just assume for the sake of simplicity that the variance from the optimal is moderate. Take severe cases out of play. Let's also assume that the subject is already throwing with IR as opposed to HE.
A. Lockout of the throwing elbow.
B. Turning the pivot foot prior to launch.
C. Glove swim.
D. Falling foreward at release.
E. Off the power Line
F. Closing the hips vs staying open.
G. Lack of Drive off the rubber.
H. Chicken Wing \ Shoulder shrugging vs staying long and loose.
I: Other (Please describe)
J: Poor follow through.
I think this would be good info for the parents of pitchers in this age bracket.
