Do you have an analysis of pitch profiles that compare 'perfect backspin' versus 'bullet spin'?
FFS - I've been looking for this for years. I don't believe such a profile exists for fastpitch.
The best evidence I've found is Pobguy's Analysis of the Gyroball (an overhand pitch thrown with bullet spin). I've concluded from reading the article that a backspin riseball would be superior but I'd love to get your take on the article.
Obviously, I'd love Pobguy to weigh in on this. I assume if he had actually done the test we're looking for, it would already be on his website.
