So her curve didn't have the best movement on this one (mom whipped out camera too late). What I am curious about is that foot....to me it doesn't break contact and drags. Is this legal or not?

I'm not sure I understand what you are talking about. Appears legal to me. If there's something illegal about it, maybe one of the umpire types around here will chime in.

I am speaking of her foot leaving rubber. To me, that is momentum and she's still in contact with the ground....this couldn't be considered a replant correct with the drag following right behind?

I don't see a replant. But then again, I don't see a lot of things.

Nothing illegal here. In fact her drive off is far too soft.
Her bicep and forearm make minimal contact and her palm is not oriented upwards.... this is why the spin wasn't optimal.

Lots to like about the pitch but yeah, leg drive could be bumped up a bit!

Like I said, not her best curveball. I have just never watched in slow motion before so was curious about the foot. Agreed on the leg drive. We're in speed and agility specifically to develop that and explosiveness. Thanks for feedback.

See what you are saying, her arm is not in sync with lower body

llegal maybe,.

Not close to being illegal. Her drag is fine.
