    PC's IN WNY AREA That teach I/R?

    I drove 5 hours each way twice for my DD to work with Java. Great coach and a cool dude. My daughter no longer pitches but I'd be willing to meet Java halfway for a beer and BS session. Hell, I'd even play some Milli Vanilli on the jukebox for him.

    First pair of metal cleats

    That's funny. My daughter is a catcher. Never been clocked with a calendar either.

    First pair of metal cleats

    My DD also switched from Ringors to the New Balance. And for the same reasons...way lighter and more comfortable. You can actually feel a big difference in weight just by picking them up by hand.

    2018 Easton Ghost

    Bought DD a Ghost from Core a few weeks ago. 33/24. DD is a power hitter. This bat is down right scary in her hands.

    D2 Commit Time Frame

    DD (2018 catcher/utility player) just committed to a strong DII program last week, but the offer was made in the beginning of October. (I think her bat is what got her on the coaches radar more than anything.) Coach did let DD know that she just had a 2018 pitcher commit too. Has your DD...

    GoPro for beginners

    Great stuff, Josh! Thanks for the fast response. I'll start out with the SD card and LynkSpider for now and then build up from there (after your official recommendation). School ball doesn't start until late March/early April so I have plenty of time to get setup and perfect my filming and...

    GoPro for beginners

    First, Merry Christmas to you all! I stumbled on this thread and I'm hoping to give it a bump. Apparently I was a good boy this year so Santa brought me a GoPro Hero 5 Black. @ Josh - would this standard setup work with the Hero 5 Black?

    DD going to first college camp a dive needed

    Any shirt with her name on the back and softball pants (no shorts...look the part!). Also, make sure her email consist of her "full name.net". DD wants to get her name in the coaches head.

    2016 LXT Plus vs 2016 Mako

    Headfirst Honor Roll Camp and / or Northeast Academic Camp at Pennsbury

    My DD attended the Pennsbury "Classic" Recruiting Camp last year. (It was held the day after the "Academic Camp".) IMO...it was nothing more than a fundraiser. 648 girls attended in 3 different sessions (catchers/outfielders - pitchers - infielders)....it was a meat market. You really need...

    Looking to upgrade DD's glove

    DD with her Vinci BV1929 (9th grade formal). Purchased from Casedawg51. Took her a little while to break it in but now that it is she really loves it. Quality glove for sure.

    Nokona, Vinci or A2000 - help me decide

    DD's wrist strap broke on her A2000 back in the Spring at the first high school practice. Picked her up a Vinci BV1929. Great utility glove. Little intimidating for her at first but now that it's broken in she loves it. Top quality glove. Picked it up from Casedawg. Real knowledgeable guy...

    USSSA World Series Salisbury 10U/12U Fight

    I had another coach say to me recently that the best team to coach is a team full of orphans. Parents like this explains why. It's a shame for all the good/civilized parents out there...behavior like this really gives travel ball a black eye (no pun intended).

    Trying to learn IR - how far do I have to go?

    You go, Peach!!! There are way more qualified coaches on their way so I'll leave the instruction to them. I would just like to thank you for putting yourself out there like this in order to help your students. The best coaches always remain "students of the game". You look awesome...keep up...

    Know a great softball kid who could use a smile?

    I once was one of those kids who grew up on hard times. I'm thankful for the people who helped my family back then, and also realize how fortunate I am to be in the position (and have my health, which my father didn't ) to give my kids a better life. Thank you Core, for doing this....you da'...
