Elbow Path
There are very few aspects of throwing mechanics that can be considered as powerful or important as this.

Regardless of what you do with your hips, legs, core etc, your arm still has to get the ball up and out in the right sequence.

@oleekatz is a promising young SoCal QB, and he and his dad take mechanics seriously. We’ve worked through a number of important mechanics areas and today we made excellent strides on elbow path using one of my favourite movement patterning drills.

It shouldn’t be hard to see with my ridiculously crude markup that a smooth, elliptical elbow path is much more efficient and effortless than a zigzag, lift-and-drop elbow path. 
It’s quicker, puts less stress on the shoulder and usually spins a better ball.
