2007 ASA Clinic Guide, Chopped Ball:
In Slow Pitch it is the act of the batter chopping down on the ball with a chopping motion to make the ball bounce high in the air. It is illegal. The ball is dead and the batter is out. It is the act of chopping the ball this is illegal; therefore, whether the ball is batted fair or foul does not matter.
Before moving this to a CD, the following sentence was included in previous clinic guides: "like chopping wood".
