ASA Test Question # 38SP (Slow Pitch only): The batter swings very slowly at a pitch and, on contact, the ball rolls out in front of the plate. This action is legal.

The correct answer given is True, and cites Section 1 definitions for Bunt (page 48) and Chopped Ball (page 50), for both of which a batter is out in Slow Pitch, according to Rule 7, Section 6-H (page 102). However, nowhere in the rules can I find any governing the speed of a swing, so I guess that's why the answer is true.

I am surprised that the answer is True and that the action is legal. So, speaking ASA, a "very slow swing" is considered to be different from "intentionally tapping the ball, slowly"? Has anyone ever seen a Slow Pitch batter swing very slowly? And was a bunt/batter out ruled in that case?

Thanks.
