The Marshall Technique
Can someone explain this to me? I am curious as to how it is different from the norm, and why Dr. Marshall has been ostracized for it.

Interesting. He is speaking in medical terms. Luckily I am educated enough to have some idea what he is talking about. I need to look further to see it in action.

From reading his website it sounds like it would look like "slinging" motion in practice. I need to see it.
Having trouble finding a video of it in action. I can kind of pitcure it from the written descriptions.See ball, hit ball.Comment

Now I find the vids
Anywho, his method achieves the same end as "conventional" windups. Its just the the means for reaching that end are different. At the release point, both Dr. Marshall's and "conventional" put the pitcher in the same position. Doc's method puts less strain on the arm. I need to try it sometime.See ball, hit ball.Comment

Some people will argue with this statement, but I think it's pretty accurate.Originally posted by PhilliesPhan22 View Post
The same thing goes for the Outman mechanics.Obsessed with Pitching Mechanics.Comment

It kind of reminds me of a cricket bowler in a way.

You read my mind. I was just about to ask about Outman. I tried researching him a month or two ago, and couldn't find much that described it in a way that I could picture it. I know about his son, Josh (duh, I *am* a Phillies fanOriginally posted by Chris O'Leary View Post) and how he went away from those mechanics when he advanced in pro ball.
From the descriptions I have read it sounds like it involves putting the thowing arm over the head, next to the ear. The description I read wasn't very clear. Like it was some highly guarded secret.See ball, hit ball.Comment

Like this clip from The Birdcage...Originally posted by PhilliesPhan22 View Post
...Marshall wants his guys thinking crow hop, cricket bowler, and javelin (thrower?) but to do something that looks more conventional.
Marshall calls it the crow hop throwing rhythm. The idea is to get the PAS arm up before the GS foot plants.
I think this idea has a lot of merit.Obsessed with Pitching Mechanics.Comment
