    Turning the barrel

    When you isolate the upper body, to me that is slotting the elbow. That is right before you turn the barrel with the hands.

    Nike Phenom Softball - anyone heard of this?

    The guy that tried to start it up in my area ended up getting busted for stealing money from people on the baseball side.

    Why athletes with average talent succeed...

    I'm not a physicist but my limited understanding of physics leads me to believe the longer the lever (arm) the more torque that can be generated. Granted it takes more to get the longer lever up to speed but all things being equal a longer arm could throw a faster pitch. Just look at catapults...

    OT: Trouble with accessing site?

    I had the same problem, I went in to my Facebook->Settings->Apps and under the logged in with Facebook group I deleted DiscussFastpitch. Fixed the problem for me permanently.

    ShowBoat YO Friday Check in 7-22-16

    Last tourney of the season, playing 14a to prepare for moving up in the Fall. So far so good, still in the winners bracket.

    Cool perk from the WFC in KC

    Agree it's a good idea but the stats are definitely not accurate. Based on what I saw from some of the players on my daughter's team it looks like maybe 2-3 out of the 8 games they played are actually factored in to the stats.

    Slugger Complex in Peoria, Illinois

    The complex is going to be really nice once it is done. Our girls loved playing on the all turf. It plays fast as everyone has said and the turf can get hot. The tunnels and grass areas were not open when we played there so there wasn't much space to warm up. Definitely make sure the girls...

    Merry Christmas!!! Only 1 piece of softball gear under the tree this year. That's quite an accomplishment for me.

    10U Strategy question

    I don't think any kid should sit the whole game. However I am a firm believer in making players earn things. Guest players should expect to play so I have no issue there. I do question bringing in a guest player with a roster that big already.

    Usssa 13u nationals de moines ia or marion OH

    Played in Iowa this summer at u11. The fields were fine at the park we played at. My only complaint was that they string the games out to make sure stay almost a week. A couple of days we only played 1 game.

    DBSFA-(Drop-Barrel-Swing-Flat-Anonymous) a FFF thread

    I'm no where near as smart about a high level swing as most of you but you can have bat drag without dumping the barrel so I'm not sure I'd simplify what JJ started this thread for as just bat drag. Wouldn't the hands need to be addressed for the barrel dumpers?
