    New glove for DD

    My dd desperately needed a new glove. The plan was to buy her a mid level glove that will Get her a couple of years and then buy her a Top tier glove that will take her through hs and beyond. Looked at theMizuno MVP which she liked alot but hates the style glove that is closed in the back with...

    Xeno durability

    Thanks everyone, I think I'll wait for the new Xeno's to come and see if they prove themselves more reliable. The DD has done real well with her 31" 2012 CF5 Insane but wants something longer. She's hit quite a few off the end for outs and it's in her head that the bat is too short.

    Xeno durability

    I've read about numerous durability issues with the 2013 Xenos but how about previous years. I've become quite a bat hoarder (for my DD) and know someone who has the 2012 Xeno (Black) in great condition for a great price. Is there much difference between the 2012 and 2013. Does either seem to...

    Any feedback on the Mizuno Frenzy 4.0

    Ended up picking one up in very good condition for $50. I figured if it doesn't work for her I can recoup the cost. I'm hoping this will work through the rest of the season til we get her a Xeno or CF6 for Christmas.

    Any feedback on the Mizuno Frenzy 4.0

    I can pick up one of these in like new condition really cheap. I read that they take a long time to break in. Anyone have any experience?

    Softball and communication

    Thanks everyone, that helps alot. We have a tournament this weekend so we're going to put these suggestions to good use. Coaching rec ball for 7 years I really thought I knew quite a bit about the game. Now that we made the switch to FT Travel, I realize how little I really knew about the game.

    Softball and communication

    This is my 12 year old DD's first year playing travel where all the girls are first year travel players. Her primary position is SS. Per her coach, she's has a great arm and glove, soft hands, and great awareness on the field. We had a scrimmage game last weekend where his only critique was...

    Glove recommendation for 12U

    Thanks again for all the feedback. I took my DD out Friday night where she tried on around 60-80 gloves from 4 different stores. She ended up picking a Easton Natural Elite glove NES125. It's listed as a slowpitch softball glove but felt the best out of everything she tried. Got home, oiled...

    Glove recommendation for 12U

    I live in Tinley and stop at Sports Station often. Because of the season their inventory is pretty limited. I think I'm getting too wrapped up in researching the internet and buying her the best that money can buy instead of just letting her pick something out that feels right and that she'll...

    Glove recommendation for 12U

    Thanks for the feedback. My wife kept telling me I was going overboard looking at these $200 gloves.

    Glove recommendation for 12U

    My almost 12 year old DD just made the switch from Rec + PT Travel this year to 12U FT Travel + middle school team. She has developed a very good glove and strong arm and will be playing SS and outfield positions this season. Her current glove is a 13" Wilson Tempest from Dick's Sporting Goods...

    Thanks tsryan, I'll have to check her out.

    Swing coach recommendations

    My 12 year old DD made the transition from rec to FT travel this year. For a new travel player, she has a good glove (SS & 3rd), strong accurate arm, and she's very fast. Where she could use some immediate help is with hitting and I'm looking for recommendations on a good swing coach in the...
