    Illegal Pitching

    I agree Umps are just as inconsistent with hitters and base running. With young slappers it's usually there timing being off from different pitching speeds. At higher levels there just playing outside the rules until there caught to get an advantage. They'll call Obstruction all day on 1st, 2nd...

    Illegal Pitching

    I feel as a coach it's my job to no the rules! Yes the pitcher and pitching coaches job to fix. TB coaches should know what's within the rules and if they don't find a new TB coach because there's probably a lot more they don't know. To clarify if the Divot is 2" deeper than the rest of the...

    Illegal Pitching

    I don't understand the lack of enforcing the rules when it pertains to illegal pitching. Blue has no problem calling out a pitcher that touches her mouth/nose or takes to long to deliver a pitch but turns a blind eye to Crow Hopping and Leaping. Why are these basic pitching rules being over...

    Travel Ball Organizations Making Big $$

    I get some profit and higher dues especially in the older age groups. Not seeing many college scouts @ 10U & 12U tournaments. Most parents have no clue what's going on. It's still a game families should enjoy. I get the business side of TB without it there is no team.

    Economics understood. Would you pay more next week for JW Blue Label if it was watered down?

    Travel Ball Organizations Making Big $$

    The fleecing of families in the Travel Ball Community. Do you get what you pay for and where does the money go? Parents and players seem to be getting suckered in by Big Name Big Money organizations. Coaches getting paid player dues lining individuals pockets. A few years ago our area had 4...

    non-CF -11 bat recommendations?

    CF is by far the best drop -11 have her try one in a few games and she'll change her mind. Next best may just be the Worth Legit. Stay away from the vendetta.

    Good shoes for a DD's dad ?

    Coach w/Cleats = find a new coach. Trail/Turf shoes (Adidas Vigor, Kanadia) have plenty of grip. Reebok Zig or Nike for comfort. Boombah for the colors. Sorry if I offended any Cleat wearing Coaches.

    Miken Triad

    Miken Triad is the same bat as Worth Legit Triad has a stiffer handle than a CF5. Broken in CF5 will be a hotter bat than a Triad. Last yrs Triads & Legits can be had for $99 new.

    Hitting Jack-It sytem - ??

    weighted warm up is bad for your game. - YouTube ^^^ Heavier bat for off season workouts and practice is ok but never for pregame or on deck!

    CF6 Length?

    Got DD a 32" CF6 insane and next to a 2013 32" CF5 the CF6 is an inch longer. Looks like Demarini includes the end cap in there measurements which means Barrel to knob not including end cap the insanes are longer by 1" Anyone else notice this?

    Bat Sharing????

    LS Xeno have S1iD inner discs connected to the end cap. The disc keeps the barrel from compressing to much upon impact with the ball. If the inner disc are still in the bat you should hear a ping/glass sound on solid hits. You can also hear something similar to a rattle when the bat is dropped...

    Boombah SuperPack Panel/Flap??

    Anyone know of another site or manufacturer that has replacement panels for the superpack? Boombah orig. said they should be in this fall but when I called today they said they were discontinued and aren't sure if they'll ever have again.
