If you can get a hold of it, get Jim Evans' training tape on balks. It covers pretty much everything you could see and then has a 25 question "test" in which you call ball or legal. He uses OBR rules but touches on FED and NCAA a bit with it.
A pitcher can balk by doing something with his upper body as much as his lower body. Keep you center of focus on his waist. I have found that to be the best method so far. The only thing I am still working on is making sure of "distance and direction" ie. a right handed pitcher getting his free foot spun around far enough to warrent actually going to first.
