Even if the batter breaks her wrist, but the umpire judges that she did not attempt at the ball, then it is still a ball. What we were saying is that "breaking the wrist" is only a guide.

Breaking the wrist does not make it a strike, nor does it make it a ball. Breaking the wrist is not the determining factor. The only determining factor is "did the umpire think there was an attempt to hit the ball."

Hope that helps explain it better.
