I believe the 6-10 arc is NSA.
I agree a 3-2 ball-strike count speeds up the game a little bit, but the courtesy foul defeats the purpose. After all in SP when you work a 4-3 count, usually one of the two strikes is a foul ball anyhow. Then you often have to wait for a player to retrieve the ball from foul territory.
Nope, I want a 3-2 like U-trip but no courtesy. That is what they play now in my area and it works pretty good.
