I didn't say the pitch wasn't touchable, I said it wasn't hitable, with any semblance of form. Some of you slow pitch guys are 6'4" with wing spans from here to there, and plenty of upper body strength. You don't notice the problem.

Females don't have the comparable upper body strength and have to cast out like crazy to reach that pitch and when they do, dink to F5. Their hips and butt are no longer able to provide any power.

Do you remember the hitting drill where you stood near a wall and put the knob against your bellow button and the opposite end of the bat against the wall and attempted full speed swings without hitting the wall? The purpose of that drill was to keep you from casting out.
Two words.
