    Question: When do increases in speed taper off?

    it is funny how it works out that way... I think proper mechanics are a big factor but i also think that some kids just have god given talent to get that speed. A girl from our state, Erin Gabriel (U Tenn) was not a very tall girl (5'7) but was quite muscular and had great mechanics- she was...

    Premier Softball in the Midwest

    I agree, the McCook event on January 2nd was excellent- a solid turnout for college coaches and the girls got to play four games! Looking forward to it again next year.

    dd pitching video- thoughts/feedback ??

    Yes, the way she is taught to throw the rise is different than her other pitches (stay open longer, keep weight back) and of course, a different spin and to get under the ball. In her drop curve she uses shoulder which she is trying to "fix" and use more wrist/fingers.

    Anyone play PGF?

    I too found it odd the PGF Nats for 14u & 16u (currently scheduled for 20-26) conflict with Atlanta Legacy Showcase and Orland Sparks Showcase (Chicago, Ill.) -both are the weekend of July 19-21 and both are big showcases.
