[QUOTE="Pharm Frog, post: 2224213, member: 34435"] Not accurate. There are many biomechanical/pathology studies that document the stress level against the elbow in particular for sidearmers and submariners. When you see photographic evidence of the torque against the elbow from a submariner and to a lesser extent the sidearmer, it is amazing. There seems to be some consensus that there's less stress to the shoulder however. The metaphor to girls softball, while understandable, does not hold up. The mechanics of a sidearmer/submariner are completely different from a women's softball pitcher. This is most easily seen in the body positioning during the pitching motion (most notably the positioning of the back). Simply put, the vast majority of submariners and sidearmers are relief pitchers who tend to throw more often but in far less quantity. But they can't and shouldn't throw in quantity any more than a more traditional pitcher. [/QUOTE]
