When I teach the "cutter", its a grip change and pressure point pitch, More pressure on the middle finger, and less on the thumb. Pitcher leads with her pinky and starts the release at the back hip. Middle and pointer finger cut through the inside of the ball, and taking thumb pressure off allows the ball to spin off the outside of the pointer finger, creating a 1-7 or 2-8 spin. Ball looks like a fastball at release then cuts down and in to a RHH (RH pitcher)
