If you know anything, you'd know their far from a 'ballistic' stretch...i think you need to read up on ballistic stretching. Either that or your hugely confused as theres nothing ballistic about them.
Secondly, in the BBing world they are a re-knowned exercise for the hams, and many people - including myself - use them with great results.
Thirdly, one of the PT's i work with has a masters etc in exercise physiology & anatomy and swears by this exercise as bread and butter for hams.
What experience/qualifications do you have to offer your opinion on it? By the sounds of it, very little if you think its a 'ballistic' stretch.
