Have a hard time going along with that. What you're saying is that every time a left hander came to balance with an R1, it would be a direct motion to first and if he didn't step and throw, TO FIRST, it would be a balk. G.

That's not what I said at all.
Raising your foot toward the balance point is a motion associated with either a throw to the plate, or a throw to the base being faced, or a throw to second. It's not a motion associated with a throw to the base behind.
