    2018 Easton Ghost

    Yep. Did that. Ordered it on Thursday I think. Maybe Wednesday evening late. Came in on Saturday!!! Great service and great pricing. Will be working more with him for our group for sure. Thanks Todd! Daughter seems to really like it. Haven't had a chance to put in on the field yet to test out...

    I sent pm on the 14th. I don't think he's been on since then. :(

    Respect for the game

    Left fielder? Probably not. But you can bet coaches do it all the time to limit innings on their pitchers and catchers. Just because you assume what another coach is thinking doesn't mean that is actually what they are thinking.

    Respect for the game

    Hmmm. Maybe that coach is actually showing an unwavering amount of respect for his players by using the rules provided to him to limit the amount of innings his pitchers, catchers, and other players have to play in a day when they are going to have to play 20+ already. Travel softball is the...

    Bat Weight advice

    I'm not so sure about 33/23 and 32/22 being the most popular college bats either. Lol. We don't even have a girl on our 16U team swinging a 32. But to your question, my daughter had been swinging a 33/23 freak. It swings heavier to her than a xeno or lxt. She is swinging a 33/24 lxt now, and...

    NSR vs. NCSA questions

    No. You are missing my point. And it's not lower level competition. We are talking about gold play here. True gold level play. At a 16U gold game at, say, the IDT, you will see 10-15 college coaches sitting behind the backstop watching a game. At the same tournament in 18s, you may see 2. And...

    Daughter cut from team for being injured

    Winning is a byproduct of getting better. If they have a 1-49 record in bracket play, I would argue that they aren't getting better and that this is a blessing in disguise. Find her a better team with better coaching.

    NSR vs. NCSA questions

    Yeah, that's just not reality. I know the popular opinion is that you have to email coaches to get them to see you, and that they only come to watch the players who email them. That'a just patently false. While they will come to see a kid who they have a connection with, you're not gonna find...

    NSR vs. NCSA questions

    Some good advice on the services from a few folks here...but the glaring problem. The HUGE problem you have right now...get your daughter off of an 18U team and get her on a 16U team where she needs to be. I've been to tournaments with our 14, 16, and 18 gold teams...and every single tournament...

    2018 Easton Ghost

    For the record, I will be ordering a ghost very shortly from core. So this isn't a knock at all. Just a personal experience that I witnessed at JO Cup in California. 3 brand new ghosts out the wrapper failed compression test. That's good and bad if you're wanting a hot bat. Lol.

    What would you like to see in a tournament?

    The 8 AM elimination games, in double elim play, are almost required. I've never heard more complaining than from a team who won two bracket games the day before, and then have to be at the park for 7 AM. But I do get your point...I'm just not sure how to get around it. You run into the same...

    What would you like to see in a tournament?

    Ahhh. So if what I'm understanding, it's that you may pay $400 for a tournament in your area, but that covers entry fees and umpire fees. Then you pay the gate. I don't think that's unreasonable really at all unless you go like 4 and out (2 pool and 2 bracket). Normal fees around here are like...

    What would you like to see in a tournament?

    Wait...so you folks are saying the ENTRY fee for a regular weekend tournament is $400+, and then they charge gate fees on top? Or are you saying it costs the team $400+ to play total (entry fee, umpire fees,etc).

    USA Elite Select World Fastpitch Championship in KS concerns

    Yep. We'll be at Legacy.

    What would you like to see in a tournament?

    Me and a buddy were talking the other day and trying to figure out why associations die. As coaches or parents, what would you like to see in a tournament? Why have you quit playing certain association's tournaments? What have some done to "draw" you and your teams in? I've hosted a few and am...
