Sounds like what we sometimes call a "jelly leg"; the drag foot isn't dragging, it just kind of floats above the ground, like a jellyfish tentacle waving behind.

Yes, I call that illegal in travel ball. It is absolutely illegal under the NCAA definition of "must drag", and while one might consider it gray and innocuous under ASA or NFHS rules, I feel we do her a disservice if she is allowed to continue that way, believing it is all good.
