Well, here it is...

This. When replanting there is physical evidence on the field. It's obvious in my opinion.

Lol this is funny , yet has some truth to it....
check for skid marks...

Somebody needs to replace chalk with dirt and superimpose Murphy's head on McEnroe's body..

I miss the old McEnroe and Connors matchups - those were highly entertaining to watch.

Why they made the change to the rule is unimportant now. The sad truth is that the rule wasn't enforced properly or consistently. Does this solve the problem? No way. People will just argue that a girl is replanting now.

This is what I'm worried about. Anytime the push foot lands first, it will be considered a replant.

Does Jordy replant?

Only when she was playing for OK. Now that she's in Nebraska, you're a hater!

Unless you're on turf...

Then the rubber fill in flies! Or sand. The rule could be very easy if your push leg lands parallel to the mound its a replant.

That's funny. She was one of the worst leapers two years ago.

It is. Even if you don’t use your muscles to push and just land on that foot, momentum is gained … which is pushing.

I’ve long been searching for a physics simulator or a video that shows this. Take a triangular (or upside-down V) item and use two sides to represent the pitcher’s legs. Toss it so that the “back point” lands first … you have acceleration as the rest tips forward.
