    Gorilla Grip

    You can laugh at me when I refer to scouts, they were from smaller schools from the area interested in taking a look at some of the ladies on our team. I will do whatever it takes to keep these young ladies playing as long as they wish to. I will exploree every avenue to get their names out...

    Gorilla Grip

    We had everything from the rule book to internet sites that stated Gorilla Grip Gold was legal and no one would look at it. The tournament director could have made things right but chose not to. The UIC has been in contact with me and is very upset with how the case was brought to him by his...

    Those of you whom supported and tried to ease my mind thank you. Your words were of comfort in this rollercoater of emotion.

    Gorilla Grip

    Udate on the incident: For those of you that thought she did anything wrong. You all are inncorrect. The ruling from the state ASA official and head of WIAA was the call was completely in the wrong. Gorilla Gold may be used and kept on the pitchers person not just the pocket. The head UIC...

    Gorilla Grip

    Surprisingly not bad considering the situation my players parents were surprised at how controlled I was. I did not invade his space and raised the volume of my voice to match his because I was still pleading our case. It is a legal substance according to the rules and we have been using since...

    Gorilla Grip

    It comes down to character, many coaches at least the ones I want my girls heading to play for hold this in high reguards. Even if we were talking smaller schools it could affect a decision. High profile schools aren't the only ones that are important. My players work hard keep their noses...

    Gorilla Grip

    How would react if your pitcher whom is being scouted has been labeled a cheat with a tournament director spreading the word so that everyone knew she cheated. I can't close the barn door after the horses are out. This is a girls future we my be talking about here. I will not take any chances.

    Gorilla Grip

    I could care less about the tournament I am interested in protecting my players reputation. They finished third after after climbing back out of the consolation bracket, when asked by the umpire to accept their medals the team in unison said you can keep the damn medals and proudly walked off...

    Gorilla Grip

    She was given Gorilla gold as a Freshman by her Varsity Coach and has been his starter since then. he will go to bat for her but as he said unfortunately the horse has been let out of the barn you can't close the door now. I want written letters of apology and vindication from the umpire the...

    Gorilla Grip

    Yes Gorilla gold, Add insult to injury there were college scouts in attendance the day before and now all they will hear is the shut down pitcher they were watching yesterday was cheating. The tournament director is still insisting she was cheating and that was why she was throwing a 1 hit shut...

    Gorilla Grip

    She kept the cloth under the front of her shorts because they had no pockets.

    Gorilla Grip

    9+ years of coaching fastpitch I have never felt as wronged as I do tonight. My Varsity pitchers and travel ball pitchers have been using Gorilla Grip Gold since we were told it was legal at our coaches clinnic. Long story short in our semi-final game were were three outs away from run ruling...

    12u Coaches calling pitches

    Calling pitches at the 12u level was something I did to make both the pitchers and catchers understand the game. No pitcher of mine threw junk, they were required to hit spots signaled in and actually throw change ups an off speed. No young player wants to throw a change up until they begin to...

    Exploding Bat

    USe the Rocketech they are almost indestructable. 4 years of tournaments highschool ball and cages out of our Rocketech before the endcap broke. I told them exactly what the bat had been through Anderson took care of it. I have nothing but priase for their customer service. Demarini on the...
