I was told that Garcia's rise was not really a rise. It didn't have back spin. Had corkscrew spinDuring the World Series of softball some pitchers were throwing a “bullet spin” rise. Can anyone explain what exactly this is, what’s the grip and how you throw it?

There is no such thing as a bullet spin rise.
By definition a "bullet spin rise" is simply a high pitch.
You can call such a pitch a ramp ball, with the pitcher throwing it on a low to high trajectory and with great accuracy and speed be very effective with it. But it lacks the rise ball effect.
When I'm on the bucket I want the rise to be at my right ear or forehead. For my DD, a late release on the rise just equals a high pitch. PC says, "tie it to the hip"My DD just turned 13 and is learning the rise. When she releases it late and she has bullet spin. If she doesn't spin the ball with her fingers she has bullet spin.
When she releases it early and spins her fingers the spin and pitch is very good for a 13 year old.
With that most pitchers release the ball late and your hand automatically turns when late.

I think the thumb gets in the way for a lot of pitchers throwing the rise which messes up the spin.
When you are catching and the rise comes right at your eyes it makes me flinch every time, does it "jump"?? Lol
