    UPS deliveries

    Stocking up on 2012 xenos 32's and 33's. My work has to sign for em, on top of every other bat I get for everyone elses DD and the ones I flip. I got so many boxes lol. The wife is still clueless thank god. Like redhotcoach I don't even tell my DD I'm buying her a bat the first few had no stamps...

    Floppy Nokona Glove

    Re lacing will help stiffen it up for sure. Use 1/4" on web and fingers 3/16 on palm/wrist section and keep a ball like you have in it. But will it last don't really know I've read lower end nokona gloves get floppy over time. If you lived around here i'd do it free minus lace cost just so i...

    Trade off for longer bat

    Look up MOI on bats. Pick up a bat swing it backwards. Same weight but swings lighter. Don't know if that's a good comparison lol but someone once told that to me and its stuck with me. I got into a big argument with a batting coach at one of our practices who came just to scout more of our...

    Cf6 insane vs Rocketflex

    Insane doesn't feel endloaded to my DD. I had bought that red cf5 when it first came out NIW and what a waste. Complained to light and no power even though it hit lazers through the infield, but no Bombs. After One tournament, it was sold. But that's just her style of swing. If your DD likes a...

    Opinions on three different bats.

    If she hasn't swung a RT or RF have her try one first. Everyone who tries ours on the team for the first time end up putting it down. I think the RF has more end load than RT even though its a drop 10. Just pulled out the 05, 07, RT at BP for comparison to the RF and she still likes the RF. Its...

    CrowHopping, Replanting, etc. - Not being called by Umps

    Fballchgup is the only post here after reading all this makes the most sense. To add, I rarely see crow hopping, its the leaping that I see most and not one umpire will call it. I think its BS when you work hard to keep your own daughter to the ASA rules that is and has been the rules to pitch...

    home made training aid

    Too bad someone near by couldn't let you borrow one or if you can try to make one. I just siliconed mine together the bottom plastic cap falls off time to time or i'd take a pitcher of how it was made.

    home made training aid

    Yeah my dd circle was small to the side and releasing from border line above waist to being illegal pitch. Muscling the ball i was told. I'd try this device and fix this problem first then hit worry about pushing the ball at release later. It really helped my headache of correcting her without it.

    Girls using illegal bats. Lawsuits?

    I know the clarity has been altered but can't be to the extreme of other bats. As for lawsuits I was wondering that because to keep that in the back of peoples minds who are going to cheat with hot bats. Nano i'll have to check into those protective shirts didn't know about them. I actually...

    Girls using illegal bats. Lawsuits?

    I dont care what age group it is, i'm sure the dad who bought the bat knows his options. Anything to make his kid that much better. Sounds like were all on the same page. My DD doesnt want to wear the mask. As for Allstars i think I will make her this year, as of all the infield. But we'll see...

    home made training aid

    My DD at 8-9 years old was throwing an almost side arm pitch. This excellertor has been the best thing to help her get the full arm circle motion coming straight up and follow at the waist. Also it helps for a quick warm up of the arm before pitching. If you knew how its made its definately an...

    Girls using illegal bats. Lawsuits?

    So if a girl gets injured on the infield and the bat turns out to be altered shouldn't they be responsible for any injuries caused. I'm just concerned been seeing alot of close calls hitting pitchers and were only in 10u, and just want the people to get a little scared for doing so. Some girls...

    10U pitcher ? about arm and shoulder.

    Yeah i've been wanting to video tape her and slow it down so i can tell. I think he said muscling the ball too. I'll see about video, never done it but i think its time to try it.

    10U pitcher ? about arm and shoulder.

    This is a great site, just came across it. Hope to gain some good info and give out some as well. Have a question about my 10 year old daughter. She's been pitching for over 3 years and she pitches fast. I recently had a pitching coach come to one of our practices and tell me she's using her...
