    Bat Recommendation

    Hey there - thinking about getting my DD a 2024 GA, but was wondering if if the weight is close to sticker (her 2022 CF 33 -9 is right smack on 24 oz). Trying to decide between a 33 -10 or 33 -9.

    Best way to replicate elite velo for 16u players outside of showcases/tournaments?

    That breakdown of Abbey Cheek's swing mechanics was excellent.

    Best way to replicate elite velo for 16u players outside of showcases/tournaments?

    Hello there. My daughter is starting HS softball this spring, as well as playing with a 16u travel team that she joined last fall. It was a good step up in competition for her - she is young for the team, but is one of the teams' better players. However, she - and the rest of the team - have...

    Quality difference between USSSA 16U and USA 16U teams/tournaments in Philly/South Jersey region

    Hello there - my daughter is switching from a team that plays primarily in USSSA tournaments to one that has played - historically - in USA tournaments. Can anybody give me a sense of the potential difference in quality in playing USA versus USSSA in the PA/NJ/DE region? Thanks!

    Good non-$200 A2000 glove options

    Hello there. My daughter (14U shortstop) is in her 2nd year of using her Rawlings 12-inch R9 series glove (travel and rec ball - including fall ball). For $79 I couldn’t have asked for any more from the glove - although I have found myself doing more frequent tightening tweaks this season. I...

    Weights and differences between a 2022 DeMarini CF -10 and -9

    Hello there. My 14 y.o. daughter has come to the conclusion that she wants to stay with a CF...I had told her that we would buy here a new bat for HS (she is finishing 8th grade next month), but we are going to get her the new bat now so she can use it in tournaments this summer. I bought here...

    Do Ghost Advanced bats REALLY break a lot?

    Yeah - my daughter has used the crap out of that CF9, and it is still got some pop in it. I think that whatever bat she gets needs to be very similar in feel to the CF9. Does anybody have any thoughts on whether either the Mizuno PWR CRBN or Marucci Echo Connect has a similar swing feel to...

    Do Ghost Advanced bats REALLY break a lot?

    Thanks for the quick reply! I think that the key thing is she really likes the balanced feel of the CF9, and my sense in talking to her is the Ghost had a similar, balanced feel...so whatever bat we get should be similar to the CF - with hopefully a little more "pop"! I was hoping to make this...

    Do Ghost Advanced bats REALLY break a lot?

    Hello there. My daughter is playing travel 14U this summer, and will be starting high school softball this fall. Not wanting to spend a gazillion dollars on a bat, last year I found a couple of used 33/23 bats for her to try - a CF9 and a LXT. She liked the CF9 and had a really good summer...

    Parent of 14U player in Philly suburbs

    Hello there. I was a lurker last year, but with my daughter playing 14U travel ball, I wanted to get more educated on things. I have already gained some valuable insights (i.e. it might make more sense getting her batting lessons than spending $500 on a bat), and the site was also helpful with...
