    Chelsea Bramlett's Speed

    I don't like comparisons I see what you mean by not comparing them. I did not mean to do that. What I meant was if you thought she'd reach the international recognition of Watley and Lowe for speed. I should have reworded that differently. Also was 2.39 from the left or right side of the plate?

    Softball Training..Like a GYMNIST?

    One thing that I have researched about is that being able to lift and balance your body weight is way more benefical than weightlifting. I read a story that bodybuilders in the 90's used to do things like handstands and other various forms to increase their strength and their strength is not...

    Softball Training..Like a GYMNIST?

    Some of you may be familiar with gymnastics. Those of you who aren't and know a lot about physical ability and training know that gymnastics takes ALOT of core training and it is safe (and arguably) to say that gymnists have and need the most strongest core muscles, balance, and coordination in...

    Kelzie Fowler (U of A) hurt

    I hope she recovers quickly and soon. She is an awesome pitcher and very vital for the UofA's success in the NCAA Tournament.

    Worth Mayhem or Easton Synergy bat..Miken?

    I noticed that the Florida Gators (my fav. team) use Easton Synergy the purple and white ones. One of my teammates have one but it's not my size but I see that she has good contact and at bats with it. So I will start there.

    Worth Mayhem or Easton Synergy bat..Miken?

    Next year will be my junior year in high school and to be able to compete at the same level of my opponents and teammates I am buying my first composite bat. I have done research and I see the best two are Worth Mayhem and Easton Synergy (kiwi green one). But I hear everyone saying great things...

    Chelsea Bramlett's Speed

    What is her home to first time? Many people make fun tall tales about her speed like she hits a ball four feet and it's a triple. Do any of you think she's the next Caitlain Lowe or Natasha Watley?

    Dumbbells not effective with olympic lifts?

    I read somewhere that dummbells aren't a good replacement for a barbell with olympic lifts and that someone would benefit more and gain more power with a barbell. Then I read somewhere that using dumbbells were better because they lessened the risk of injury while doing olympic lifts. What is...

    What is a "DD"?!

    I have been on this website for some time but I still can't figure out what "DD" OR "DGD" stands for. I know it means daughter that plays softball. I know I"m late haha but can anyone help me better clarify?

    Scholarship Stealing?

    IMO I think that too many college coaches rely on getting their players from the same travel ball team their current players were on. In reading many D1 players bios on their websites I noticed that many came from the same travel ball teams are players that have graduated. I think they just pick...

    Softball Throwing Drills For An Outfielder Like Me?

    I need improvment on my throwing. My bad habit is releasing the ball at the top of my throw (causing it to sail) and I also have trouble with "getting air" under my balls. I throw too low. I have been doing core training and all for close to 2months so I know its not that I need a more...

    Strength v.s. Power

    Thank you for helping me clear things up. I now have a Medicine ball and do plyometrics 2-3 days a week in my workout program.

    Outfield positions ? Who to put where?

    In my personal experience. The fastest went in the CF and RF. The best arm goes into LF. That's how it was on my team.

    Scholarship Stealing?

    Lets say one player has a verbal agreement to this school and coach their junior year. But then this coach scouts this other athlete who is ... better. Not just a little better but could more than likely potentially be a powerhouse in his line up that he desperately needs and is more worthy of...

    Banning Composites

    And plus wouldn't the banning of composites cause a big uproar in stats? I mean if we "downgrade" to other bats that don't hit as well as composites then the people who set HR, AB, and other records had an advantage than those who try to break them. Isn't that why the MLB still uses wood bats...

    Strength v.s. Power

    What's the difference training and performance wise? I understand that power has the advantage over strength in softball. I train with 15 lbs. dumbells so to train for power I need to lift them fast with less reps to train for power not strength? I did research over power and I'm not all that clear.

    VIDEO: Any tips on my hitting form?

    Okay, thanks. Its just that I didn't know I had a billion problems with my swing because I get good distance off my tee.

    VIDEO: Any tips on my hitting form?

    Oh okay. Could my bat drag also be because I have a greater stronger lower body than I do arm strength? I heard that from somewhere. ALso would I get more power if I swung with my whole body? and do you have any drills I can do to learn to swing with my whole body because I've heard this before.

    VIDEO: Any tips on my hitting form?

    Haha no. I had no idea Pujols swings like that. I don't try to copy anyone cause I'm my own person not someone else.
