Fed cites the shoulder turn as being a balk after coming set.
Some years back, since, in FED, pitching regulations began when the pitcher made contact with the rubber, the interpretation was that the shoulder turn was also illegal when in the stretch. That has specifically been changed.
And, while distance and direction is used by umpires, that phrase is not in the FED rule book.
