    Demarini CF7 Insane Issues

    I can see where it looks like she has been banging that off of metal cleats and that's honestly something I hadn't considered. That seems like a very plausible explanation. Strangely, I looked at her last two bats and neither have these kinds of marks. I have to go back and look at some video of...

    Demarini CF7 Insane Issues

    We bought this bat 3 months ago. Within 2 weeks it was apparent that the paint was defective. Demarini said it was "Cosmetic" and wouldn't stand behind the quality of their paint. Last weekend it was removed the game by a PGF umpire because they said it was cracked. So frustrated with Demarini...

    Wilson Shock FX 2.0

    I think Avila has the worst luck with getting hit in the mask. It may end up shortening his career from all of the concussions. He switched to the titanium mask for part of the season last year and I think it was actually worse as it directed most of the impact force back into his head...

    Wilson Shock FX 2.0

    We ordered a couple sets of gear, one the Wilson Promotion with the Shock 2.0 cage and the other the Under Armour Pro set. The stores nearby don't have a good selection, so we figured we would keep the gear she likes and send back the other. DD likes the Wilson Promotion gear better except for...

    DD called her first game!

    I think its great that she is gaining that level of insight into the hitters at her age. That will only continue to improve as she gets older. I don't think I have ever seen an intentional walk in 10u, that's pretty funny.

    Feedback on catcher's mitts

    What are the key differences between the GXS92 and the GXS57? DD has been using the GXS92 for about a year and will use throughout the winter indoor season while we break in her new Vinci. It has been a good mitt for her but is losing its structure.I think we paid like $60-70 for it and have...

    Mallory Hitting Help

    One thing I noticed and this was an issue for my DD, which is why it caught my eye, is that she wants to try and pull everything. If you try to pull an outside pitch, it will end up as a chop or weak ground most of the time. DD's hitting coach has been working with her to sit back and let those...

    different technique

    That's a great video Chaz. I like the side by side comparison. To GM's point, I saw a 12u catcher jack up her knee last year when she stepped on the plate during a throw. It was raining, so the plate was especially slippery.

    Paid coaching rates

    This seems to vary for team to team here in Michigan. Non-parent coaches typically have their hotel/gas expenses covered at the very least. Some of the higher level teams pay coaches a salary in addition to the expenses. I have heard this vary from $2,500 all the way up to $10,000 or higher in...

    Bucket Dad

    The catcher's mitt is a JCV34 and the fielder's glove is a 22 series.

    Bucket Dad

    DD and DS received their gloves in the mail today from Chaz. Started the break in process. Hope to have it ready for winter ball in a couple months. Haven't met Chaz in person but he was very knowledgeable and helpful. Very honest and up front, he quoted me a good prices on two great gloves...
