What would be interesting is to hear Rick or Bill(others as well) chime in on absolutes versus style. Amanda and Jennie are handshake position (if that's what we want to call it) Cat and Monica are palm down but everyone is elbow locked out fully extended. After looking closely lots of pitcher seems to have little twists or slight rotations of the ball as it comes to 12 more are in sync and at 9 almost everyone looks the same. I'm not saying the overall mechanics and body positions aren't musts but if the ball moves slightly from 3 to 12 to 9 how much does that matter if at 9 everything is OK...or are some elite pitchers compensating in ways that pitchers who do it correctly don't have to?
