    Batting advice

    That's certainly not true in softball. Where did you come up with that one? BD

    Thank you Hitter

    Thank you Hitter

    Thank you SB. I haven't had an opportunity open it yet but I will shortly. The kid has to be out of her apartment by tomorrow, so guess who has been making trips back and fourth with her furnishings. Because of the softball stuff, we're left with 2 days to "get 'er done." No complaints from me...

    Thank you Hitter

    Thanks CB. Congrats to you and BB. Tschida held the team banquet last night and talked about her and how dominating she (Rachel Johnson)can be. His assessment of her was she's of high DI caliber. She is just a few MPH short of elite DI status. Brenna says she is by far the best she has ever...

    Thank you Hitter

    Thank you SB. I really appreciate that. It wouldn't have happened without his help. Frank

    Thank you Hitter

    I am hoping that Hitter still checks DFP out once in a while. Since I have no other way to get a hold of him, I’ll try here. Brenna and I would like to thank you for all the help you have given us over the past 4 or 5 years through the pages and pages of emails and the pages and pages of posts...

    Turn the barrel vs. throw the barrel

    I have to agree to a degree. Kicking will work if the pitch is not outside. If the pitch is outside and your kicking, you better be one hell of an athlete. Too much emphasis on back foot going heel up will not be effective. IMO. There are some differences in the foot work in the inside/outside...

    The "Go"

    This is a lot more common at the college level than I ever thought. There are a lot more pitchers with late break causing exactly what you've written.

    Turn the barrel vs. throw the barrel

    "Hip rotation is critical, he says. Tee drills are good for creating muscle memory: Drive your hip toward the ball" Interesting he says that. I assume he referring to the back hip?

    12u dd

    It's a bad angle for sure. Shoot another video at a better angle. From this angle I would say she is too upright at contact. She has no lean or as Hitter says, bend at the waist and soften the knees. It sounds as though she hitting screamers. Gives us a better angle, please. BD

    The "Go"

    Not necessarily. It depends on the skill level and the pitch count. You wouldn't swing at a pitchers pitch the "kissed" the corner of the plate. Unless of course there were 2 strikes. Teach your hitters to know their hitting zone and look for pitches thrown their. Let all other go. Even the...

    Turn the barrel vs. throw the barrel

    What's a "bleeding corner"? Is it serious? The uptick, do they carry Lyme's disease?

    As the sun sets

    This is my favorite post of all time. Thank you for sharing it with us. You're part of a select group, those of us who year after year got up at 5am on a Saturday during the summer and drove out of town with our child, got breakfast to go, talked and ate, got to the field and they warmed up...

    Turn the barrel vs. throw the barrel

    With adherence to my new self imposed posting policy, (only positive comments), I have to say: well said. A bench mark post IMHO.

    Turn the barrel vs. throw the barrel

    Refer to post #291 for a new beginning. Here's is a preview of your new journey: Stop counter rotating your shoulders so much. Reminds me a 5yo's swing. The only thing missing is the Jumbo barrel plastic bat. We can fix you. But you first have to admit there's a problem, with you of course.:eek:

    Turn the barrel vs. throw the barrel

    Sadly quite a few were. Except I never bought into the counter rotation of the shoulders that Tubby does. It appears that Roga does. There may be no coming back for him. RIP. I applaud you for your preemptive involvement. Sadly one can lead a horse to water but can't make it drink. Sadly people...

    Manns bag drill

    Your t/p ratio is off the charts at over 2.0. You're right up there. FFS and RD will reach the 2000 thanked club soon. FFS will get there this summer.
