I'm not sure if I quite understand the lesson in terms if practicality. What is the need for the bucket or any other item? How will this relate on the tee pad if you are never stepping down from any heighted position/surface?
Because you still have to drop/step down into the plant, as opposed to rising/extending upward into the plant. At least that is how the vast majority of top throwers do it. It's exaggerating a motion pattern you should be doing and feeling while striding into the plant. The video I released just before this kind of explains it more with hinging vs squatting. ruclips.net/video/2-_P4gYQkU0/видео.html
Tried doing this and experienced some pain in my foot, above the ball of the foot. I did it barefoot and on something likely too high, but do you have any thoughts about what might be happening when stepping down that would cause that?
Yeah, I normally wouldn't recommend doing this without shoes. Practice like you play. Also I think maybe you aren't controlling your fall/step down enough and just slamming down uncontrolled. You can effectively do the same thing in Swivel Stairs Drill or Crush the Can/part 2.
Wouldn't this be something better to be done from lets say.. a shorter item such as cinder block, so you can still get the fall feel, but have a lot less impact issues with the knees? Like what you're showing here, I can't physically do this with my knee problems.
Cinder block is good. Recommend also trying on objects of various heights to whatever your comfort level. I have bilateral knee issues (making no assumptions about yours) so I am careful to warm up and listen to my body when I learn drill moves and adjust to any limitations.
This is basically an exaggerated Crush the Can or Swivel Stairs Drill or modified One Leg Drill. Make sure you are hinging into the hip rather than bending the knee/squatting. I think if you can sit/hinge into a chair you should have the mobility.
Thank you for your continued work! I appreciate the new videos and can't wait for next season to put all this to the test!
Thanks!
"...and you don't want to kick the bucket" - this is probably the most important advice in more than one way.
Thanks!

Adjust for any issues you may have.
