Anyone here familiar with Gloveworks?
If you are referring to the "gloveworks.net" site I had them make a custom glove for my GD. We worked on it together and she selected the style and all of the color combinations. We selected the steer hide model. This is a top notch glove manufacturer that produces gloves for a lot of other...- butcher-boy

DD killed the golden goose and may have shot herself in both feet
If her ex-number one school is in a conference you might reach out to the other schools. If there is an chance that she could find a spot on one of them you could have a huge motivator. Payback is a b____.- butcher-boy

How much is too much?
Caution : Other than the physical aspects this amount of ball may be fine as long as she stays gung-ho about the sport. Where you may encounter some push back or outright burn out is when she reaches high school age. When friends, both girl and boy, enter the picture you are dealing whole...- butcher-boy

I don't know why but for some reasons Granddaughters have an extra special place in our hearts. #7Dad, you can be assured that Grandpa is...- butcher-boy

Looking at new gloves
Does anyone have any input on a company by the name of " GLOVEWORKS ". I thought it might be fun to let DGD design her own glove. She has been using a WILSON A2000 Cat Osterman which Wilson no longer makes. According to their website the gloves are made in China and are very reasonable for a...- butcher-boy

Thoughts on teams that have players from multiple states.
It seems to me that all any coach or player wants is to compete on a level playing field. How would you feel if there were no restrictions on scholarships or player transfers. Only the schools with deep pockets would be able to hand out 25 to 30 full ride scholarships and offer high paying...- butcher-boy

Thoughts, opinions and ideas please...
Unless I missed something is seems like most of the discussion centers around playing different positions in the field. Obviously defense is important but equally important is offense. How is her hitting compared to the other players. Maybe some daddy/DD time in the batting cage would alter...- butcher-boy

I need a gadget built
Improving throwing motion I'm assuming your wanting them to throw more " over the top ". As you already know you are trying to change muscle memory. A method that worked for me was during initial warm up throwing I had the players throw parallel to the fence ( fence to the throwing side )...- butcher-boy

The Auburn Hop
The Hop Tony Rico has been teaching it through the Firecrackers organization for several years. They start with the 10U group in the very beginning of their infield drills. You do see it drop off somewhat at the 18U level. At that level it probably depends on the individual HC . After this...- butcher-boy
