In 2008, Boddy started a blog called Driveline Mechanics. It relied heavily on the theories of former Major League Baseball pitcher Mike Marshall.To test out his own theories, Boddy created his own biomechanics lab in Seattle, which included high-speed cameras, EMG sensors, force plates, inertial measurement units, and a device to measure elbow torque.
