Thanks for the info. Our crew was given this handout at a meeting prior to the a Regional National Qualifier this past weekend. Needless to say we probably used both the new mechanics and the old throughout the weekend. Was extremely hard to break habits that I have used for years. As the tourney progressed I found myself using the new mechanics more and more.

Also was told the strike/out call was to just come up into the hammer instead of reaching up and grabbing air and bringing it to a hammer as we had previously used here.

Through some study, ASA found that people/players only hear and retain one word so why not use just one. I do like the change as it was stated it will bring consistency to the calls.
