Pocket Radar users, need reviews
I used the Pocket Radar for about a month and found it was consistently 3-5 miles off my Rev Fire and radar gun. I wanted to see if it was a defect or I was just not timing it correctly. However I was so busy I never followed though (I coach college softball, give private lessons, run clinics...- chr1ssy34

Possible stress fracture in foot
I would get a second opinion because stress fractures typically do not show up on x-rays right away. Also, did you have her see an orthopedic doctor that specializes in foot and ankle issues or a podiatrist? Source: I had bad foot pain for a year in 9th grade. Cross Country/ Varsity Softball...- chr1ssy34

Changing pitching styles?
It depends on the pitcher. I pitched stepping, closed style until I was about 16 and learned leaping and a more open style on my own and found much greater success. About a year later I hit 60 and my cruising speed was about 60-63 and top 64 (I’m a VERY small pitcher). Prior to leap and drag I...- chr1ssy34

Pitching practice - How to make pitching practice with a bucket dad more effective
Males and females ARE different and that is fact. Most importantly people are different in communication styles, ability to take criticism and personality traits. There is no one size fits all style that works for all males, all females or all people so I am not sure what you are talking about...- chr1ssy34

Pitching practice - How to make pitching practice with a bucket dad more effective
Like I said; there are always outliers (your daughter that doesn’t mind might be one). However you would be surprised about how many girls take it to heart and wait years to say anything to their parents. I usually hear it before the parents do (I’m a semi-retired pitcher/pitching coach for 12...- chr1ssy34

Pitching practice - How to make pitching practice with a bucket dad more effective
One major thing I can agree with is leave the coaching to the coach. It is wonderful you are involved and I am sure it means a lot to your daughter, but be very careful. If you are paying an instructor you must trust their ability and judgment on developing your daughter’s pitching skills. If he...- chr1ssy34

Rev Fire
I love the Revfire. I use it frequently in lessons and I know a couple of coaches who use it with every lesson. The speed accuracy isn’t bad and for some pitchers it really helps them understand spin. As far as speed a good gun is better. Sometimes it will be way off and other times it's right...- chr1ssy34

What are people's opinions on kettlebells?
I love them!!! I LOVE KETTLEBELLS! They improve grip and wrist strength which is critical to a pitcher and players. Doing swings are great for all players for cardio and strength training. Several other exercises are great for upper body strength and conditioning. When I came out of retirement...- chr1ssy34

Moving up from 10U to 12U
I start my pitchers doing distance drills before they move up and I have found that most have no problem with the additional distance. The main problems that girls have are; gripping the ball if their hands are still small and some girls will slow their arm circle down with the bigger ball. I...- chr1ssy34
