USSSA Slow Pitch Mechanics

Where can I get educated about USSSA mechanics. ASA rules book offers extensive explaination of mechanics, USSSA book offers nothing. Where can I get mechanics manual?

There is no mechanics manual that I know of. The mechanics are pretty much the same with the exception of the BU's position.

USSSA places little emphasis on mechanics, sadly. You would do well to learn the ASA way of doing things, and then apply them to your USSSA games.

There's just lots of pointing when calling strikes by just about all partners. That would be kind of humorous if there just weren't any USSSA mechanics.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!

If you can avoid the USSSA bad habits, do it. Learn your solid ASA mechanics first.
