If that's not a Quick Pitch, what is?
I doubt if you can get your money back from these clinicians, but I'd suggest switching clinics in the future. Delivery motions from the same stance can vary throughout the game provided they do not violate other pitching rules.

A quick pitch is one delivered when the batter is not yet reasonably set in the batter's box. There was nothing provided stating the batter was not set in the box. If set in the box, the mere act of delivering in a new, faster motion that takes less time or less motion is not a quick pitch. It's merely a different delivery motion.
