You wouldnt throw a shot putt. But it can be done for golf. Homer said it was a "beautiful" method, but he also warned of its potential for elbow injury. Not a certainty by any means but there is the potential. Take my word for it! You can hurt your right elbow if you hit with a pitch right elbow position. BUT. you can hit with a punch position after pulling. The "Bin there, don that" Bear HungryBear View Public Profile Send a private message to HungryBear Find all posts by HungryBear
