Modified FP is fastpich without the full windmill windup that you see in girls softball. In our league, anything goes, other than the windmill. So, we have lots of wrist snappers & slingers. These guys can bring it to the plate in a hurry, believe me. I don't wrist snap or sling, I am strictly a "bowling motion" pitcher. But, I am fairly effective by mixing up pitches and speed. I throw a slow and fast knuckler, slow and fast backspin, and two different fast balls, a straight four seamer and a slower two seamer that breaks a little away from RH batters. My "fast" balls are only fast in relation to my knuckleballs & backspins. The guys that snap throw much harder than I do. :)
