SSnuffer -
I really want you to be correct. My 13 DD throws what I equate to corkscrew - her fastball (48-50mph) moves down and in on RH hitter. Several of my fellow coaches have told me she would pick up 2-4mph with vertical spin. My response was "so what" - 52 with no movement is a lot easier to hit hard than 48 w movement. She will strike out 2 or 3 a game - usually looking by nipping the black. The rest are usually ground ball outs. She can vary speeds and has a decent change-up. NO ARM TROUBLE after 4 years. Her stock has gone up recently that we moved back to 43'. Our hard throwers are getting walloped (see 40' to 43' thread).
To the other posters - thank you. All of your insight has been enlightening (amazing how much I don't know about this dang game.)
