Anyone else find that some players don't have the "guts" to leave when they should on the rocker step because they actually have to start before the release of the ball?
I've seen some girls with speed take all their speed away because they have a tough time actually starting their motion when they're supposed to.
With the rocker, I leave at 12:00 at Softball_2 mentioned...some girls have an easier time with watching the pitchers stride like SBFAMILY said.
I've seen sneaky runners to the rocker most of the time, but on occasion when they steal, they set up in front and still leave at the same time. I know, it's cheating and super risky if you have an ump that happens to be on top of that stuff. Not something I'd personally do or teach, just something I've seen happen.
