How important is it to have a backswing on your pitch? My DD had one when she first started, but she felt that she is better balanced without one. However, I'm wondering if that's taking away from velocity or spin? Has any of you experimented and tried doing it both ways while using a radar gun to confirm? I've read that everything before the stride is all just for style and comfort/timing, but logically, a backswing should provide some extra arm speed, just as a load would in hitting.
Also, does picking up the right toe (RHP) really have any benefit before the stride?
