U made the pudding but forgot the proof.
Merely an observation not a 'hate Henne' thread at all... I thought it might be fun... Anyone else notice this? When i saw the first pic of Henne on MD.com and in some sigs I was blown away by the position of the ball... Look at the amount of wrist action!!!
I couldn't help but compare it to the man himself... I tried to find a pic in as similar conditions as I could just for fun... You can see that the ball is vertical instead of horizontal and uses much less wrist... In fact most pics of Dan in the throwing motion the laces are down palm is up, opposite to Henne here.
I'm not an expert but I did play the position and was coached in it as well... Our coach at the time who modelled his mechanics on MArino was 'less wrist is more'... less involvement less chances things can go wrong... BUT the guys in my group who used more wrist in their motions threw a much 'hotter' ball with alot more power but a little less accuracy...
Anyone here coach the position and can comment a little more on throwing mechanics???
Having said that I thought I would be fair and include another pic of a guy whose motion compares more favorably to the Henne pic. Not a bad comparison.. lol.
