Which set of rules?

OBR: not a balk until coming set; and even then it's not automatic. No mention of shoulder turn in the rule book. The umpire must be convinced it is part of a feint to first.

FED: Balk. Pitching regulations commence when pitcher takes the rubber AND the shoulder turn is specifically ruled a book under NFHS.
