how do you do it quicker whithout a balk ?

[karibian9]

@RobberyDude7 No. But the foot needs to come off the pitcher's plate after a throw, or fake throw to second base. The same applies to third base as well (for a RH pitcher), or first base (for a LH pitcher).

do you have to throw it if you do this move?

@crazydance00 no it isnt. because he doesnt break the plane, he is allowed to move back, however, he has to make an attempt to second base. he cant just step down.
