    I've purchased Easton bats from you before... but do you carry DeMarini? I'm looking for a -11 for my 10 year old. Have had great luck with the -11 DeMarinis... thanks.

    Who all loves the CF6 Sprite -11...???

    CF7 Sprite is one of the hottest bats I've ever come across. My 12 year old broke her first one 7 days after she got it. She used it for 15 or so games in the fall then her 11 year old sister broke the replacement the first time she used it. I've known six girls who have used CF6/CF7 -11...

    Are slappers overrated?

    FWIW, Taylor Gadbois arrived at Mizzou as a Right handed hitting shortstop with VERY good power. Mizzou had another tremendous SS in that class (Corrin Genovese) and the defending Big 12 Defensive POY already at SS in Jenna Marsten. Gadbois was good as a right handed hitting SS, but...

    crankermo's DD going deep

    Actually Bobby... The coach was right, the catcher from the year before HAD graduated (and gone D1 as well). Brooke was probably playing 1B the game she hit those bombs the year before. ;-) Glad to see the thumb's holding up... Came on here to check out some other stuff and saw this...

    bat speed

    From the manual: Whether the Swing Speed Radar® is located rearward or forward, it will measure the speed of the bat barrel in the hitting zone. When determining the energy imparted to the ball, the maximum exit velocity results from the ball being struck at or near the “sweet spot” of the...

    Elite/Exposure/Prospect camps...how do you know which ones to sign up for?

    I know of several girls who ended up at Mizzou after being noticed at their summer camp. They also have 15-20 other college coaches there and lots of girls will get noticed and pick up D1/2/3/NAIA offers (or ultimately get them) at the camp. Relationship building is also a huge benefit of...

    Xeno being discontinued?

    I talked to some Mizzou players about this very thing - only 3 girls on the roster are currently using LXTs over '14 Xenos (and a couple prefer the '13). IMO it's all about personal preference. Performance is very likely identical. thought for sure that would prompt my daughter to tell me she...

    2014 CF6 Drop -10: A slight end load?

    Just bought my DD a CF5 as well... she got really upset, as she loves her Xeno, which is unfortunately dying a slow death having lost lots of pop in the last few weeks. With our LXT not likely to arrive until September, we had to get a stopgap... she also hates DeMarini bats... but after...

    There was an article on it in the paper here in Columbia yesterday: Thomas discusses loss of firepower - Columbia Daily Tribune : Mu Before giving up a HR to Florida in the SEC championship game (her second game of the day) - she had a scoreless streak of 31 innings which included shutting out...

    Feedback on 10U swing

    She sure does not look to be driving that back leg much in either clip. She's typically really strong there. Outdoors on dirt she drags the toe quite a bit, and even played with bringing the back toe off the ground for a bit. It's definitely something she's conscious of, but evidently...

    Feedback on 10U swing

    She hits very well in games. She's aggressive and typically gets her money's worth. 2/27 tee work - YouTube Here's a clip that was a little more level, and might show more lateral tilt as mentioned above. Let me know what you think. thanks!

    Feedback on 10U swing

    Riley tee work - YouTube since the video she's been working on the back elbow and focusing on her head at contact... love the look on her face and the violence in the swing... let me know what you think. thanks. (please excuse the jacked up camera work... evidently I'm not smart enough to...
