[QUOTE="UlsterRugby2012, post: 1072697, member: 59097"] Also, don't underestimate the power of stigma. Even if there was a slight benefit it is easily plausible that due to the stigma it won't be widely adopted. I cannot remember for the life of me where I heard this (but quick google search looks like it's true), but I recall hearing how in Basketball, by far the most accurate way to score points was to throw under arm - "Granny style". However it has never been adopted because of the stigma, despite it having tangible benefits. I find that fascinating. [/QUOTE]
