Roughly how high and how far away do you have your string set? I’ve typically set the string about 3-4’ in front of the plate at about knee height or slightly higher. Would be interested in trying this approach/drill too. Thanks.
The string in the video is set 12 feet in front of the plate and the height is at waist of the pitcher. So from release to string the ball is traveling up then reaches the string and when done right goes down.Roughly how high and how far away do you have your string set?

Two better videos:
Side view:

Here is the back view:
In the back view video, my DD falls off to the left to give a better view of the ball flight. If she were throwing in a game, she would not fall off to the left. If I remember right, she put something around 28RPS on the ball...which is pretty good since she hadn't thrown the drop "in anger" for more than 10 years.
To make a long story short:
The difference between a properly thrown peel drop and a properly throw rollover drop is one of degree. Fundamentally, they are the same pitch.
The goal is to make the internal rotation of the forearm as quick as possible.
Neither.I could not tell from the video. Does this make a 2 seam axis of rotation or 4 seam?
