From her pitchers perspective...In process for 6 months. Effective and consistent for 1 to 2.
Does she have any feedback about the adjustment she's made?

Generally she likes it. Removes one variable from the delivery. It does mean she needs different arm timing so that's taken work to get back in line. Much less stress on the knee which is good. Along with that she's been messing with hips not closing and arm path so she doesn't hit her forearm on her screwball so a lot going on simultaneously. I think she sees it like any change...the immediate degradation of performance is frustrating but she's seen the long term benefits of continually working improvements so willing to stay the course. Certainly a couple days early on where she needed to stop and pick it back up the next day. She's pleased with where she's at now and we've been able to get her back onto form before some major camps and one tournament this weekend in Vegas.From her pitchers perspective...

This video may (or may not??) help better understand body velocity contribution to pitch velocity.
Enjoy!
Comp, of course they will. As frustrating as it is to deal with all the alphabet soups out there: USSSA, PGF, USA, etc. etc. absolutely none of them care one bit about the other's rules (which is why there isn't a unified pitching rule among them!!!). But it's a toss up as to what those organizations care less about: each other's rules or the high school rules.Well I certainly hope they don't come up with something different than what nfhs has already put out. I don't recall the nfhs video saying anything about the arm, it was all the feet .
From Umpire school this weekend:
USA Softballl is working on a video and play clarification about leaping and replanting/crowhoping. I could be off, but the general gist is:
a) Gymstep/pivot foot off the pitching plate before starting the pitch is illegal and should be called.
b) If during a leap the pivot foot lands before the arm is past the ear, there is a good chance it is illegal.
c) There was some talk about what to watch for on the foot action of the pivot foot to see if it’s an additional push, but I didn’t get all the details.
