We get into these discussions regularly.
Perfect Circle's DD does get 3-9 spin...but she isn't throwing the ball particularly fast. Will she be able to throw the ball at 60MPH with 3-9 spin? I have my doubts.
I have yet to see a 3-9 pitch at varsity level of HS softball, college or pro.
At the upper levels, the screwball is a "step left, throw right" pitch with bullet spin.
Thx... 3-9 & she throws the same... on left or right
Yep first thing we learned from Edy's post, was it didn't have to be fast. So it is an off speed pitch, and to be used @ different speeds.
If your looking for exsamples, Check out this years NPF ChamiopnShips. ST throws very similar to DD, except she can't bend it back @ Lefty's like DD If you seen the final, you would see 5+ 70mph pitchers setting the bench... ST threw the last pitch of that game :{))
