New Video
Haven't posted on here for a few years, but do check in once in a while. Thought I would post a recent front toss video as an update to the journey. Pretty happy where Liv's swing is right now starting her sophomore season in a couple weeks, but we are always working to improve and open to...- fballchgup

1st lesson
NV, I am sure your are going to get a lot of advice on your DDs swing. There is a lot to work on. The good thing is she seems to be very athletic and aggressive. This is just a random person's advice, which i assume you are looking for by posting here, so if you find no value in my observations...- fballchgup

10yo Maddie
This is such a good post by RHC. I don't post on here very much anymore but this is exactly what I have working on with my DD lately. Being short and sudden and letting the swing plant the front foot. Goal number 1. Don't underestimate the value of this advice. Thanks RHC.- fballchgup

This weekend temp expected 105-108.
Just for perspective. We played saturday it was 40 degrees with a light rain and a brisk wind off the ocean.- fballchgup

Batting lineup philosophy
If your MS is like ours where the math teacher is the coach then the lineup might actually be set alphabetically or even shortest to tallest. :p- fballchgup

My DD swing. Looking for any feedback
Not sure if her instructor is teaching to get the front foot down that early, but it appears to be having a negative effect on her swing. Her weight goes forward with the stride, stops, and then a little rocker move (negative stride) to get swing going again. My guess would be she has trouble...- fballchgup

Catchers Mitt
1 vote for Mizuno classic fastpitch gsx31 34.5". DD is not a catcher but this is the glove I use to catch her. This is a really nice, high quality mitt. Retails over $200 but can be found on sale for $160 or less. I actually got mine on ebay auction for $70 and that's a steal for this mitt...- fballchgup

14yo DD Hitting, Feedback please
I like the leg kick, but she is not getting the benefit from it because she lacks a sequence right now. She has what I would call a gate swing. When she loads back, her hands go back and when she goes forward her hands and bat start forward. Watch the Bautista video carefully, or better yet, any...- fballchgup

13yo dd plays p, ss, 1b. Uses worth liberty fpx 12.5" (discontinued). Loves the glove, but it is definitely longer than the easton ne 12.5" she had last year.- fballchgup
