    Bows

    My daughter got several varieties of bows from Etsy, including bows customized with team colors and number, and one made from the cover of a softball.

    how many touranments do you play

    Let me ask this: for those of you playing more than 5-7 tournaments, how much are you paying per year? My player fee is $500, for which they play 1 indoor tournament, 5 this summer, and league play during the week (doubleheaders twice a week). That is with fundraising included! ETA: That also...

    going back on a flyball

    Actually, there was a DB that played for University of Michigan back in the late 80's/early 90's that was said to be able to run the 40 faster by backpedaling rather than running forward. His name was Tripp Welbourne.

    Cabrera Launch Position

    This may show my "uneducated-ness", but it looks like he's letting it get deeper in the zone to go to right field.

    UPS deliveries

    The UPS guy has left the following at my house in the past couple weeks: a CF5 33", a CF5 32", a Miken Freak FX700, 11 Easton Walk-Off bat bags, and 11 Rawlings batting helmets. AND there's more to come! Fun stuff!

    Pre-catching work

    What are some things I can work on with my daughter prior to getting the NECC DVD? I don't want to instruct her to do anything contrary to how they teach. Thanks.

    Help? 10U Coaching Needs

    I would find something other than wiffle balls that is more durable. I've found they tend to split along the seam in short order after light usage. If you have to, watch Craigslist for used practice balls.

    The mental part

    I just started reading The Science of Hitting by Ted Williams. He gets into anticipating pitches. From a 12U standpoint, if all you generally see us fastballs and change ups, would it be an idea to anticipate change ups all the time, then adjust to the fastball? I ask because it always seems...

    Encouraging Words

    This request is kind of the flip side to a thread from a few months ago, regarding the dumbest things you hear parents yell from the stands. I'm trying to make the area in the basement a bit more "softball-friendly". My DD got a Jugs pop-up net for her birthday, and we're down there several...

    2013 DeMarini CF5s

    My daughter has used one of her teammates CF5 that she just got, with pretty good results. Went 2 for 3 for the first time all year last weekend. Now she wants one, but another one of her teammates parents said he heard a rumor that the CF5's were gonna be banned next year, so she's reluctant...

    Heavy bat vs. Light bat

    Ok, guys, here's a question similar to the recent thread regarding using a heavy bat in practice. My DD is 12U, and uses a 17 oz Bustos semi composite bat. She's kind of struggling adjusting to the pitching, as this her first year in travel. I seem to remember reading on here that using such a...
