    Uniform/equipment companies to flock to or run from?

    I am curious about the same thing. i'm looking at breaking away from my DD's current team to start my own. The girls would like to have quality uniforms. I've been looking at under armor, mizuno, russell, nike, reebok, etc. I just don't want a cheap uniform that will be full of snags or tears in...

    That's the same thing she was noticing, she just described it differently. In order to see the front rear pocket you have to see the back butt. She just picked up on the back part in her description instead of the front part

    JBooth, What DD noticed is similar to what you said. You say rotate the front hip toward the plate, she noticed them rotating the rear hip away from the plate. She pointed out that on a lot of the batters she couldn't see the seam in the middle of their butt, then they loaded and she could see a...

    please critique DD's swing

    Tonight, We worked using the drill where she puts the bat behind her back at her hips and hits balls off the tee for an hour tonight. I have to work tomorrow but she says she plans to hit another 200-300 like that tomorrow. What else? I'll probably post up another video Monday and see if you all...

    Amy, you asked if the bat was too light. She is 12 y/o, 5'3", 90#. In the first video I posted she was swinging a 32/23, in the second a 32/21, and a 32/22 in the third. On the slap video she was back to the 32/21. Her swing has been a mess. A mixture of coaches adding a little bit here and...

    i'm no expert but it looks like her hands are too far back in her stance, she is dropping her hands, and isn't hitting through the ball. please correct me if i am wrong. what else do we need to work on and any suggestions? also, she has started wanting to slap hit and the last video is of this...
