Hey Softball guys,
Larks here...basketball guy but softball player....quick question....
How do you guys usually judge a swing to be legal?
What I am referring to is the slow or bunt swing in softball.
_____________________________________________
Slow pitch or fast pitch?
______________________________________________
Is it follow thru meaning the swing may be slow and as long as it doesnt stop, it's legal?
______________________________________________
Don't see why not. However, if slow pitch, and
this is a bunt movement or chop, then illegal,
_______________________________________________
Also, do both hands have to remain on the bat?
________________________________________________
No
________________________________________________
Example, can the batter remove his top hand in order to complete the slow swing? (Letting go with top hand roughly half way thru the swing.
_________________________________________________
Yes.

Is this rule any different in USSSA vs. ASA?
__________________________________________________
Should not be.
