I used the bow string method which may be different for you than as I perceive it and the elbow went straight toward catcher no pulling back toward dugout behind me, the results were quite dismal compared to the others.

I agree with your point that pulling the forearm and top-hand back toward the catcher produces poorer results than pulling them toward the third base dugout. I used the term “back toward the catcher” to denote that the top-hand should be pulling rearward during initiation rather than pushing forward toward the ‘pitcher’.
