    What makes a good catcher?

    To bad I can hardly read that. I'd copy it. :-) Probably my old eyes.

    Same pitcher different catching experiences

    I like this. Have to give it a try.

    Same pitcher different catching experiences

    I wouldn't want to say that she is a headcase. Definitely not as bad as many others I have seen. I'm really leaning toward she never learned to pitch to a spot and just looks for the glove, or the other catcher and the pitcher have played for awhile together and are more comfortable with one...

    Same pitcher different catching experiences

    First off thanks for the insight and ideas. My DD is calling the pitches. We (because of this forum) just spoke again about how she is calling them. She is gonna try and change this some. She has been calling what the pitcher wants her to call but not necessarily what she throws well. As far as...

    Same pitcher different catching experiences

    I am talking about a 16U A team. To some degree yes the pitcher is settling down. But after watching numerous videos of the games there is a definite difference. The pitcher does better out of the gate with the other catcher. I have wondered about the comfort level as well. My DD and the...

    Same pitcher different catching experiences

    So I'm looking for ideas of what is happening when my DD is catching. She has a better skill set than our other catcher but during the games things get sloppy. During warm ups with our #1 pitcher everything is fine and the pitches all look good. During the game my DD is chasing balls all over...

    Catcher's bag recommendation

    I've seen a lot of reviews about the No Errors bag wearing out very quickly. Seems to rip the seems out. Anyone have a comment about their experience with it?

    GoPro housing/case suggestions

    Part of why I asked about the skeleton case is that it has the pad across the middle of the back which will interfere with the touch screen. Guess I'll try the frame mount first and maybe get a skeleton later when I can find one with a different back. BTW Thanks Josh. I received the...

    GoPro housing/case suggestions

    I recently bought the GoPro 4 Silver edition camera and was wondering if anyone has a suggestion of which housing to use so I can attach an external battery. The housing that came with it is the waterproof case which I like because it will keep the dust out, but there is no external access...

    Is moving up to 18U a mistake?

    My DD went to another tryout and received an offer to play on a 16U "A" ball team. They seem to have a good history We both liked the way the coach coached. I'm sure this team could also beat the other 2 18U teams. It's more money but I'm sure I'll be calling back tonight accepting their...

    Is moving up to 18U a mistake?

    I guess I should add although I think she's good, but I don't know about D1 good. She's never played "A" ball. She did try out for an A team once. He said he liked her but they were not needing a catcher.

    Is moving up to 18U a mistake?

    Thanks for all the responses. She is a 2017 graduate. She catches and plays the corners, but mostly 3rd so she is always in the action. Kind of an adrenaline junkie. She bats 3rd or 4th even when she guest plays usually. And she's a bigger girl who surprises the coaches when they look at the...

    Is moving up to 18U a mistake?

    My DD took a liner at 3rd to the forehead the weekend before fall tryouts. Subsequently her tryouts didn't go as well as we would have liked. She picked up an ok 16U team (she's a '99) but their was a mis-understanding (long story) about the position she was going to play. We started shopping...

    Time for New Gear is Approaching....

    My DD just got a set of Easton Mako's and the first thing she said when she was trying them out was she barely notices they are there. She's worn them for a few games now and still loves them better than anything else we've ever tried. I'd at least try a pair on. I was a little skeptical...

    shin guard problems

    She doesn't like the knee-savers. She thinks they are to bulky. On that note yesterday we bought her a new pair of Easton Mako's 14". The first thing she said when she tried them on is "They feel like they aren't there". They seemed to not want to turn at the store. I ordered them online...

    shin guard problems

    They have done this pretty much from the beginning, or should I say I don't remember them not doing it. Her last ones which were smaller did it also now that I think about it. I don't remember how much though. Dang, now I'm back to square one.

    shin guard problems

    She would love to hear you say she is skinny. She will never be a flyer for the cheer squad but she did play as a lineman a couple of years ago with the Junior football team. She always wears softball pants with them. I would have sworn we had gotten her 15" guards, but plain as day they do...
