Point straight up? I've never seen that mechanic. Do you really point straight up or use the hammer motion?

No 3rd strike mechanic like the 'bow string' because it might show up the batter? Do you really think that you're showing up the batter and showboating? I haven't seen many (if any) umpires that don't have their own 'special' 3rd strike mechanic.
