Curve or drift?

I had a clip sent via message that shows a very good 9-3 spin. It was more of a pocket to pocket forearm/hand motion and did not have an upper body component to speak of.
I'd love to find a good clip of Cat throwing hers.

Doug- why did you delete the grip you posted? Please repost it.
Will do tonight. Thought it might hijack your original intent.

Semantics...
Actually there is a huge difference. A true curve with 9-3 (+/-) rotation can move significantly and may fool the batter, whereas a bullet spin may have a minimal amount of movement due to drift but more often than not gets hit very hard.

I was catching for one of our pitchers yesterday she throws bullet spin everything. She throws harder then my dd, but it was way easier catching for her, I could see the ball way better, I think it's cuz of the bullet spin

When BM says corkscrew I don't think he means true bullet spin.

This is one of the highest level female pitchers in the nation.......
I doubt she'd be throwing the pitch I describe/teach if it tended to get hit really hard......

BM- any close up spin clips so we can see the spin you are describing? I can't catch it from the clip of ms. Pauly
