Talk:Gyroball

There seems to be major confusion in this article between the gyroball and the "shuuto" which actually have opposite breaks. The first half describes the gyroball correctly, and then the second half is talking about the shuuto. - Nick Kapur

Okay, I have email confirmation from Will Carroll himself that he erred when calling it a shuuto, so I am going to go ahead and split this into two separate articles. - Nick Kapur

left hand pitcher

The article describes what happens when a right-handed pitcher throws it. Am I correct in assuming when thrown by a left-handed pitcher the movement of the ball is completely opposite (in terms of left/right)? -67.172.181.206 18:01, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Velocity of the Gyroball

The article claims that the the gyroball is thrown with the arm speed of a fastball but goes much slower. This is questionable on two counts. 1.) There is no confirmation that anyone has ever truly thrown a gyroball. 2.) Most articles about the gyroball seem to say that there is potential for the gyroball to be thrown at fastball speeds which is the main reason people believe it to be a "miracle" pitch. One such article can be found here (http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1792187).
