    SOLD-Original Rev Fire

    I have an original Rev Fire that is still like new (2-12" balls are used, but work fine), both DD's are getting to a point where I don't need it anymore. Are people still using it?

    Curve ball help

    I will disagree. DD is a pitcher for a P5 team that does quite well with a curve. Just ask Texas.

    another tech ball to put on our Christmas list ?

    Spin is calculated as RPM on the DK ball. Rev Fire is RPS. Take your 1150 and divide by 60 to compare to Rev Fire.

    What's "Most" important

    Picking one, my choice would be speed. Though I agree pitchers can be effective with spin and location without speed. With speed, control and spin can be can be off a little and you will still get swings and misses/foul balls/weakly hit balls. The difference is, with a hard throwing pitcher...

    new College Freshmen DD check-in

    DD#1 seems to be adjusting well. Playing P5, the grind is real. But seems to be embracing it. Played in 3 games last weekend, played 1st, hit, and pitched 3 scoreless innings. Not sure if those innings will come around in the spring. The hardest thing for her right now is balancing the...

    In Search Of an 11” RevFire Softball

    I have an 11" ball that I purchased when I got the original system. Brand new. No idea what it's worth. Offer?

    I find it hard to believe this is true about learning movement pitches.

    I'm seeing that right now with the younger DD...two different riseballs (you know the coach)...fastball speed has leveled for a while at about 61, but the riseballs have gotten VERY good. Even alternating pitches can be a wild ride at times. It will be fun to see after this year.

    2018's: How is the college recruiting process going?

    DD was lucky enough to commit to a P5 conference back in October. Couldn't be more excited as it was where she wanted to go to school even if softball wasn't involved. Now moving on to my DD that's a 2022...start the process all over again. This one might be easier with a 60mph fastball and...

    ODM On Deck Measurements

    MY DD is 12u eligible as well. We did both OnDeck last year and made the USSSA Elite Selects as a direct select. She is a P/C/Corner. We will never do the USSSA selects again. Just not a great experience for the cost. Personally, as long as you have means to correctly and accurately do...

    USA Elite Select Futures tryout

    Youngest DD tried out in KS back in October. Ended up being a direct select for the Midwest region for the 11's. It was a well run tryout, albeit indoors due to rain. DD can't wait to go to FL in August...I'm sending mom with :)

    Regular Softballs In The Gym

    I wouldn't use them in a gym, but we have pitched with real balls in a gym...just be aware of your backstop Not to hijack the thread, but has anyone noticed a difference of when your DD pitched in gyms/domes all off season and it takes a little time to adjust to being outside in the dirt? How...
