DD has really worked hard on her circle change since learning IR...it does indeed spin 12/6 and falls off the table! I couldn't figure out for the life of me why but now I know! I have seen her lock up really good hitters with this pitch and when they do make contact they either drive it straight into the clay or pop it straight up. She finishes with her hand pointing directly at the catcher. She has very small hands for her age, (turns 14 in a week), and she has said the circle was easier to control. Totally agree with playing with the grip as every DD is different. We work all four corners on the bucket and this has increased accuracy exponentially.
