    RockeTech Innards

    Anderson calls its end cap "bullet proof". Since even bullet proof ceramic plates can only take so many hits before giving in, I guess it's not all that shocking that bullet proof end caps would disintegrate after one too many collision with a pitched ball. My dd's treasured RockeTech stopped...

    Showing the umps slow-mo videos of their bad calls?

    One benefit of carrying a high speed camera to the games is that you can show instant replays of close calls to those around you. On many such instances I have been both thoroughly impressed by how good the umps were and utterly shocked by the wicked lies my own eyes evidently told me, in real...

    LCL injury?

    Our first summer tournament is tomorrow, but DD will be on bench-warming duty, because she sprained her LCL last Saturday during her very last rec game ever (she is in her second year of 14 U, and will be playing high school next year). It happened when she tried to beat a throw to third in a...

    Any good track & field events for pitchers?

    Middle school track & field season is in full bloom at the moment. My DD has always enjoyed sprinting and is doing it again this year (although she would probably do much better if there had been a 50 m dash instead of 100 m). Looking around at some of the other events, I always thought that...

    Fair ball?

    Right-handed batter was late on a pitch and chipped a shoulder-height fading line drive that crossed into foul territory before reaching first base. First-baseman reflexively lunged for it, and with one foot still on the ground inside fair territory, she barely tipped the ball with her...

    Defensive face mask comparison?

    Has anyone had any experience with the (relatively) new Rip It Defense Guard? I had bought the Game Face (both sizes) and SportShields Defender, but my DD couldn't stand wearing any of them (neither do her teammates, to whom I had offered these same masks). She(they) complained that her(their)...

    14 "A" or 16 "B", which one is more competitive?

    My DD was born on New Year's Eve, which means every other year she is the absolute youngest player in her age bracket (no one plays up in our league during the summer). She also happens to be one of only two pitchers on her team. Over the years, we have become gradually 'wedded' to this team...

    Homeschooled 13 yr old needs help (videos)

    I wish I had discovered this board earlier, as I have learned a lot (notably the internal rotation discussion) during the past couple of weeks by reading through many recent threads. I have a small 13 yr old (5'1") who started pitching in 10 U, using nothing more than Cheri Kempf's book and...
