I'm set, pitcher is begining a pitch, catcher is set and she swings.. bringing the bat around and grabbing it with her other hand.

This swing is dismissed as yet another practice swing and the "real" swing is when she bunts.

Conceivably the batter could continuously perform this new Delaware Helicopter Swing and never stop swinging once in the box because until the ball is actually hittable, many dont believe its a swing by rule.

This may be true by reading the rule book.. because at best it is unclear. I can find no reasonable definition of a swing and any alluding to such would not address swinging before the pitch at least is hittable.

But that is a BS method of batting so perhaps ASA needs to address it.

Thats the best I can find with a honest reading.. similar to gorilla gold.. ASA has no rule on it.
