Pitcher's arm back limit ??

[bobbrix]

Ran out to my car and grabbed my book (Softball Canada):

6-4: The pitcher may use any windup desired providing:

d) He does not make more than one revolution of the arm in the windmill pitch. A pitcher may drop his arm to the side and to the rear before starting the windmill motion.

Literally, I read this as contradictory if the pitcher drops his arm to the rear.


I'll go with Cecil and Downtown from now on, interpreting one revolution as "not two revolutions". (I look forward to the strange looks when I use that one.)

Sure would be easier if the rule said 'less than two revolutions ' per Dakota.


Thanks as always ... you folks are making my first year a whole lot easier.
