I've been reading that 50 page pdf that is offered for free from Dick Mills and he suggests stepping directly back to begin your momentum forward for more velocity. He notes that not all great pitchers did this and some of them have in fact stepped towards first base, or to the side, rather than directly backwards.
What have you experienced is the better mechanics, or is it just whatever makes you comfortable? Does it really increase velocity when stepping backwards? It doesn't seem that way for Tim Lincecum or others. Or are those few just so out there that they can do whatever they want and still have good velocity?
Thoughts and suggestions are appreciated!
