Decided to start a thread on its own for this. NOT A SALES pitch. I understand the theory with the queen teaching proper leg drive mechanics and in fact bought one myself. With both feet in contact with the rubber I would suggest maybe the feel of proper leg drive is hard to master without proper instruction and/or a gadget like this.
With the new rules I could probably argue the other side and suggest that more girls would “find/stumble across” better drive mechanics more naturally. Ive tried it myself and I find this to be the case.
Sooooo...in my mind some questions are: “did that just take the value of the queen down?”
“Do we change the way we teach drive and focus more on the drive with the back foot?”
“Does too much backfoot drive now cause timing issues with the drive foot? Especially if that back foot is too far back”
I have a feeling this is going to be a race to find “optimal” and will absolutely be a game changer shifting the advantage back to the pitchers.
Thoughts?!?
