I pitched both slingshot and windmill. Slingshot was utilized more with step-style pitching. Windmill definitely incorporates the lower half much more, with a much more explosive drive.
Yeah, well just use the rule that they use in college. If she plans on going to and playing for OU, it is legal. If she doesn't, then it will get called out.
(Sorry but I watched as an umpire at the WCWS was at 1st base and called illegal pitches for a pitcher leaving the ground. The same exact umpire was at 1st for Air Bahl's first start in the finals and he never once called her on it. Sorry but she did not throw one legal pitch in the WCWS but never got called for a single one. The ones with the biggest gripe should be Washington, who arguably beats Texas if they do not go back a minute after the inning ended to say Gabby Plain pitched illegally for coming off arguably 1/3 of the height that Jordy is getting on every pitch.)
Has the NCAA landed on this rule for future years yet or is that something they vote on in the Fall? Is this a power struggle between USA Softball and the NCAA? Will this contribute to the mound moving back? Will cats and dogs start falling out of the sky?
