Slow pitch motion

Question
I am trying to find out if my slow pitch motion is legal. 1 ump allows it and 1 ump will not. I start with my hand below my hips, and use an arching motion that follows the right side of a clock(ie starting at 6 then going thru 5..4..and 3) before releasing it around 3 o'clock. I get the correct arch(6-12ft) as well. Is this legal? Either way, can you quote me the rule that decides this answer?
Answer
Hello Drew,
Your question was thrown in the question pool by someone and that is the reason for the slow response. I came across it tonight, so I apologize for the slow response. I don't see anything illegal about your motion. I'll post a link below to the USSSA rule book so you can view it for yourself. The rules applying to pitching motion can be found under rule 6-section 4. It appears that you meet all necessary criteria, but you can check for yourself.
