I read that the most optimal axis for a rise ball is moving 12-6 with "backspin" - viewing the pitch from pitcher to catcher, the ball is rotating clockwise.
But watching some videos in slow motion, the axis is definitely not 12-6. in some cases it looks like it is moving way off that, even counter-clockwise (catcher's view) which seems to defy Magnus effect, but still rises...
Interested to know if there are other rise techniques that don't support the 12-6 rationale..?
Thx
