I want to apologize to the OP for hijacking your thread…the issue my daughter is having is very similar…Her back foot is flat footed without taking full advantage of the pate…I see her pulling with the front foot….but we are still seeing too much up, not enough out movement…which Rick Pauly has mentioned before in our lesson.
CB- no apologizes necessary and I am glad this thread has raised some questions for you to ask and get help with as well as others. That's the whole point IMO so always feel free to high jack away if it will help you!!

It's not an illegal pitch because the rule states they must "start" in contact with the plate. Not remain in contact with the plate.
I don't have the exact rules and wording but that is the jest of it.

So when is the exact moment when you are allowed to leave contact with the rubber. Umpires are always watching my DD drag the back of her heal across the front of the rubber and I get nervous because when she drives her heal lifts and is not contacting the rubber.
