Looking at the most powerful pitchers in our area, they are all leap and drag pitchers. When they leap off the pitchers plate they (mostly) drag their drive foot and appear to replant. They also stay back and replant the drive foot before the stride foot lands. The drive foot seems to absolutely skip to the replant poistion.
Looking at the model pitchers, they certainly keep their weight back. They also drag the drive foot and put at least some pressure on it before the stride foot lands. Some replant more than others for what appears to be a second push.
Is it correct that for the elite pitchers, the drive foot replants to some degree to give an extra push?
How much pressure is placed on the replanted drive foot?
Does the drive foot replant before the stride foot touches ground?
