    Bat Comparison Entering 2015

    Okie, my DD has had an older Xeno in the past and loved it until it cracked and didn't notice for a while and it went dead. We replaced it with a Mizuno Whiteout and that had no pop whatsoever. I replaced that with a Easton Synergy Speed SRV4B for cold whether games because it is a one-piece bat...

    DEEP vs SHALLOW POCKETS

    chazbz1, my DD is a first year 18U and all her pitchers are 60+. She uses no glove or palm pad or thumb guard. She absolutely refuses to wear one as she likes the feel of hand against leather. With that being said about a year and a half ago was experiencing severe catcher's thumb with her...

    looking at JCV34 34inch for 12U catcher

    fastpitchparent03, I have both the Vinci JCV-VM and the Akadema Praying Mantis gloves for my DD. There is absolutely NO comparison between the two. The Akadema does not have anywhere near the palm of thumb padding the Vinci does. The Akadema hurt like heck if you catch one in the palm and not...

    Best way to hit a change-up

    I did not read throughout the thread to see if this has been touched on or not but this is my thought and it may not work for everyone. If you have a kid strong enough to generate enough power with their hips and upper body without a stride, then widen their base and convert the hitter to a...

    Catching with an "arm bar"

    As Coach Weaver from the NECC teaches in his video, if memory serves me is to beat the ball to the spot and this often requires catching the ball out front so as not to carry the ball out of the strike zone when catching it too deep. This is especially true on a ball that is tailing and/or...

    Patty Maye, we have a fellow U of I recruit in our travel ball circuit named Stephanie Abello who will be starting her collegiate career in 2015-16 and this young lady is a catcher and an amazing ballplayer. She is poised to shattered the State of Illinois High School career home run record...

    Advice on cleats for catchers

    Not sure about the durability of these cleats yet but they are comfortable according to my DD and ultra super light. I found them on the Adidias website in the men's cleats. I believe they are the lightest shoe on the market and my DD just fly's around the bases in these. They have a padded...

    New Mako

    My DD has both the Synergy Speed SRV4B(blue) which I found NIW this winter and the Mako which I bought last winter as well. I bought the SRV4B for her to use in the cold spring season because I have heard they are nearly indestructible and hot as heck. I had my DD use they SRV4B exclusively all...

    Mitt too heavy?

    Hey Eric, The Vinci is a great glove and very light compared to most catcher's mitts. However if you are thinking about getting one get one plenty in advance of actually needing it. It took us a month or so of me working it at night a couple times a week just working it back and forth and...
