My oldest DD used a 33/23 for a year at 14u before it developed some cracks. Despite it being a few weeks over a year I spoke with Easton and they replaced it. She probably could have gotten a few more months out of it. The replacement bat served her last year at 16u and HS ball. She jumped up...
One game break with two back to back is pretty typical from what I’ve seen over the years. Sometimes we’ve ended up with a break between each game. I can think of only a few occasions when we were handed a two game break but that was probably after back to back games. I wouldn’t be thrilled with...
Put it in the other thread but she’s liking it so far. Had some nice shots using it for the first time in a showcase last weekend. Was supposed to play yesterday and today but got shut down yesterday by rain and today by a 102 fever. She feels like it has a little more pop than her advanced but...
My DDs 34/24 Unlimitted weighed in at 24.1 ozs compared to her 33/24 Advanced that is 23.7 ozs. Got to watch her during lessons today and it seemed to have some good pop. Had a different sound than the Advanced. Similar but almost quieter. She’s debating using it in a showcase this weekend. At...
I’m sure that’s what it is. I need to find my scale and compare their weight of her bats. Btw when you get your next shipment in of them will you have any drop 9’s? My youngest issue for a new one and not sure if I want to bump her from a 32 to a 33 yet. Thought I’m might go with a 32 -9 instead.
My DD got her first swings with it tonight and gave it a thumbs up. She hit about 5 buckets of balls but no live pitching. Thought the pop was a little more than her year old Advanced but she did go up an inch. She also felt that it was a little more end loaded but that was probably due to the...
Is there a calibration process and different standards used? I was curious and was trying to listen in to understand what was going on and it seemed to be related to a setting on the machine being set incorrectly that was causing them to “fail”.
Our 12u team had compression tests performed on their bats the at checkin for a USA nationals event last year. Every single ghost advanced failed including one that was still in the wrapper. There was about to be a lot of unhappy kids and parents. Then a call was made and they were all passed...
I bought his book a few years ago, learned it myself as incorporated into my daughters throwing program. It made a significant improvement in their throwing. Started using the weighted balls with my younger daughter last Fall. Have gotten away from working with them this Spring with MS ball...
Our org has fielded multiple travel teams at each age level for several years. Tryouts are held together for each age group. Generally the top 12 players are offered spots on the 1st team and then the teams are filled out below depending on the #s and pitching/catching. Some years that has meant...
Both my DDs struggled with this and as a coach I see it all of the time. My oldest has gotten through it and my youngest seems to be turning the corner, but it it took a lot of discussions and repeated reinforcement that mistakes as Hunter said are just part of the learning process. I constantly...
12u all infielders were required mask on our teams but in OF it was optional. 14u I required corner IFs to wear masks. Middle was optional but highly encouraged.
Pretty sweet color pattern on that one. I thought about going the custom route but with two kids playing travel ball I have to watch the softball budget. [emoji3] it was the PRODCTCB that I ordered and it was 240 + tax .
