    Rubber Ring on LXT

    We had the exact same thing happen and I didn’t worry about and went through many games until an ump decided it was a modification or damage and wouldn’t let my DD use it in a tournament. The ring is just cosmetic. The good news is sent it back to Louisville and got a brand new bat. They were...

    Team player vs being taken advantage of?

    I only hope he is trying them out to see if they can catch, not because he needs a strong outfielder. That makes no sense. A Catcher has way more chance to let runs in than an outfielder. I would just bring it up to the coach and see what his reasoning is. Go from there.

    Should DD change team?

    If she really wants to be a pitcher then she has to pitch, even a 10u travel team shouldn't be walking home runs constantly. That said, be careful of moving up next year. 12U is quite a difference, the girls are huge and throw hard. Plus if she is a pitcher and that small, I might worry how...

    Do I Need to Tell Coach?

    Get her on another team as quickly as possible, which unfortunately may be the next season. If he won't even use her in practice that's ridiculous. Explain to your daughter that the coach is playing daddy ball to the extreme and she will get a chance with another team if she keeps working. I...

    Switch from A to B?

    It seems that if she switched before the new year then the calendar requirement would reset. So the next year would be fine.

    Switch from A to B?

    Wondering if there are issues changing from an A team to B from fall to spring or summer (not right in the middle of a season). I wouldn't have thought so but read some older comments that said you could not do it. We are in California. My DD is trying to choose between a good B team and...

    choke up

    Thanks for saying this. There was a parent on my DDs last team who did 1st base coach once in a while and every time there was a slightly fast pitcher he told every girl to choke up. Drove me nuts. Took me while to convince mine not to do it as she saw him as kind of a coach. I'd rather she...

    DD Pulled

    If she was showing lack of effort, then as a parent I would be happy with it. Sometimes I wish our coach would pull players including my DD catcher just to teach them a lesson so to speak about what is and isn't acceptable. Sure they will be a little embarrassed or upset but that's a good life...

    2017 Louisville and CF9's in/coming in

    Got the CF9 Hope today. Thanks again Core! Amazingly fast shipping (we are out in Cali), great service. If you are in doubt, the bat looks really, really good. Much better than previous years IMO. Will have to see how she hits it, but she already likes it.

    2017 Louisville and CF9's in/coming in

    I'm right with you ordering the same bat (CF9 32 Hope). Hopefully they ship a bunch!

    Which bat has the least sting LXT, Xeno, or CF8?

    Yea, I tried to tell her that if you hit it in the middle it doesn't sting at all :) and of course the bat that works for her will help hit it in the sweet spot but was interested in what technology may be working better out there.

    Which bat has the least sting LXT, Xeno, or CF8?

    Hi, new to the board so if this has been covered already please direct me. I searched with no exact results. My DD currently uses a Mako Torq and FS3. We are looking to get into a new bat and decided to get either a CF -10 or Xeno/LXT of the same. We can't try them all out currently but...

    catchers helmets

    We went to a shop that had a ton of catchers gear and a lot of helmets and tried all star, Wilson, etc but she went with an Easton I think M10. Doesn't look like they make it anymore but similar to the new ones. It has held up well and she loves it. It was all about fit though. Many nice...
