    opinions on mid priced bats needed

    I'd wait for the 2017 bats to hit next month and then look for a 2015 Demarini or 2015 LS at a good price.

    Worth getting out of fastpitch softball

    No information here but Worth has been under Rawlings Sporting Goods for years. I think the original play was Worth (fastpitch) and Rawlings (baseball) but they could decide it better to just go with one brand for both. You'd still have Worth-like equipment but it would just say Rawlings. Of...

    Kentucky shortstop Christian Stokes

    Great series for a Cat fan. The Nunley/Walljasper Battle in the bottom of the 6th with two outs and bases loaded was awesome. I was just sitting there wondering how many times Skeeter would bust her inside to set up the change. WOW!

    Just when I thought I'd seen it all....

    Can't believe you made her show up for a lesson when you could have fixed it in an email. :rolleyes:

    USA Women's National Team Roster Posted

    They should have put Britt Cervantes' bat in that national lineup but put her on the Elite team instead.

    Bat Sting

    Lots of good advice here but they can't always hit it on the sweet spot and if they foul one off and get stung their next swing is not going to be as you would like. Get good multi-piece composites. Drop 11 for smaller girls and Drop 10 for others. (LS Xeno or Demarini CF) Only sting they...

    Dented TCB balls?

    I know this is an old thread but it came up first when I googled Dented TCB Balls. They do seem to be able to be filled with air even though the valve doesn't look like the normal basketball valve. I had several getting flat after a couple years and filled up with a needle and pump and they...

    What "gun" was used each time?

    What am I missing here???

    You're welcome. If it becomes a pattern of disrespect rather than just not being focused once-in-a-while I think you are completely right to address it. Maybe just as a conversation a little later the first time with increasing firmness if it becomes a pattern. We've been through a few cycles...

    What am I missing here???

    It's tough. We all want our kids to be the model example and we take it too seriously in that we feel it reflects poorly on our parenting ability when they aren't. Kids have their moments. Something else might be on her mind. Try to keep an eye on the big picture of what her actual character...

    What am I missing here???

    Probably a little hardcore for a scrimmage practice in 10U rec. I would relax a little unless it starts becoming a regular occurrence. She probably didn't get to be the best player by loafing. A better approach might be to just have a little heart-to-heart with her about what her goals are...

    Help with bat sizing

    Find a 33/23. Drop 9 would be more for a power hitter. Drop 12 is too light.

    Pitching Coach Nashville/Bowling Green

    Searching for a pitching coach for my 14 Year Old Daughter. Would prefer someone with I/R knowledge. Nashville/Clarksville, TN or Bowling Green, KY area. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Slash

    Just to be clear. I'm not a fan of the slash but if the 3rd baseman is standing 6 FEET away every time you show bunt what else can you do? Tell your kids to lay down the bunt anyway? You've got to do something so they don't crash so hard. A couple slashes should put them in a more reasonable...
