    Bat Selection question

    DD currently swings a 31/21 CF9. She hated it at first and refused to use it because she thought she didn't hit as well with it. After it was broken in, she liked it a little more and starting using it more than her other bats, but she didn't seem like she really loved it. I told her if she...

    Runner out due to look back rule?

    I think my biggest issue with this particular umpire is that he was a jerk. We've dealt with umpires who didn't know the rules 100 % but they were always nice and communicated with the coaches fairly well. We had a game a few weeks ago where the umpire and our coach were chatting in between...

    Runner out due to look back rule?

    Lol, I wasn't confident in my knowledge of the game so I thought my basic understanding of the rule might have been wrong. I really have no clue what he saw that made him call her out and cite that rule.

    Runner out due to look back rule?

    Our assistant coach was banned to the dugout after protesting and our head coach was told to get out of the park. He was collecting his things when the tournament director tried to grab him and make him leave. He wasn't yelling or making a scene. Just trying to get his stuff. Also, this was...

    Pricing used bats?

    DD hates her Demarini CF9 (-10) and won't use it. I really want to sell it but I'm not sure what I need to price it at. It only has around 30 hits on it so it's like new! What would you guys suggest? Also, I ordered it off of Amazon so idk if I even bought from an authorized dealer. I...

    Question for 12U TB Coaches

    It makes me sad too. I never realized that it wasn't the norm until I joined DFP. I wish I would have found this site two years ago so I could have started with DD then and gotten her on a TB team instead of dealing with Rec ball. My sweet little cousin plays 14U so I might see if I can get...

    Question for 12U TB Coaches

    DD is moving up to 12U and the few team options we have are holding tryouts in August. What are some things that you look for in the girls- specifically in the batting area. DD is currently acclimated to a pitching machine, and she's nervous about facing live pitching. Also, what would be...

    Cracked bat?

    How do you tell if a bat is cracked? DH was looking at DD's big bat earlier and there are a couple of lines up and down the bat. I'm not sure if they're scratches or cracks. Any for sure way for me to tell? Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk

    Jump Starting Your Friday Check In 6/23/17

    DD's 10U allstar team starts their district tournament tomorrow afternoon. She's never been on a team that's won at district so she's excited this year since her team is pretty good. We're also hoping to have good umpires because last year was awful. The girls on the other team were leaving...

    2018 Easton Ghost

    DD played against a team who had most of their players swinging with a ghost. I think almost every ball they hit went deep into a hole in the outfield. DD had just played this team 2 weeks earlier and they could barely get the ball out of the infield. I was extremely impressed. Both with...

    One proud momma!

    DD played in her very first tb tournament today and did so well! She hit 2 triples, 1 double, and 2 singles. She played SS (which she's never played before...usually 3rd or LF/CF) and suprised her daddy and me with how good she did...especially backing up players and covering bases. She let a...

    Best Fastpitch Bat you will recommend?

    Words of advice- take your DD and get her what she wants. If your DD is like mine, she won't care about how great everyone makes certain bats out to be. She's gonna like what she likes. DD had a Mako that she used most of the season but started complaining about it...bought her a CF9 and...

    Trying to find the perfect bat

    Thanks everyone! I ended up ordering a cf9 so I hope she likes it. If she doesn't, she can use her Mako.
