    I freaking hate pitching

    Lots of great advice here. I know its hard to try and enjoy the ride at this stage, but after dropping off DD#2 at college a few weeks ago would give anything to be back on a bucket at those early years. She was a #2 or #3 pitcher 10-14U, was not asked back to play on her first travel team at...

    When did your DD first throw 60 mph?

    Hit 60 with PC winter of her 8th grade year, but in games mid to high 50's. Dealt with an injury following year in HS and lost speed. Much stronger this past summer and was back to upper 50's/low 60's in games. So far this fall I can tell she is throwing harder than ever, but not really...

    Share your recruitment story

    What year/time of year did your DD verbally commit (fall of HS junior year, summer after junior year, fall of senior year etc.) - Spring sophomore year What Division is the school? Mid D1 When did your DD first connect with the coach of the school? At a camp that they asked her to attend...

    Fs: 2016 34/24 lxt

    SOLD Purchased on 3/1 for HS season. DD hits very well with it off of a tee and front toss, but more comfortable with her 33/23 Xeno against live pitching. Used in 4 or 5 HS games and practiced with during that time. Other than a couple chips on the knob, bat is brand new. Added a matching...

    Golfer's Elbow - Medial Epicondylitis

    grcs....sorry to hear about your daughter. My DD's was never an ulna problem as they checked for that and from what I have heard can be a much more serious condition. We went to an ortho dr, a couple different pt's, and ended up with a chiro that did graston and ART techniques that seemed to...

    Lefty Catchers Mitt for small 12U

    Haha, I love this one...DD's first 4 or 5 girls she threw out had this same thought...teach them proper footwork and no issues going to 3rd and has many advantages snapping to 1B and on bunt coverage. KPower, had the same problems. DD is still using her Rawlings Champion (looks like they call...

    Golfer's Elbow - Medial Epicondylitis

    Wanted to give an update to DD's status. Just returned from a 2 day college camp that she was able to throw both days with no pain. After researching ART and Graston found a sports chiropractor that did both. Was able to get her into 2 sessions and did the exercises and stretches they...

    Have you Considered a Chiropractor for your DD?

    I put a post in the pitching forum for my DD who was dealing with medial epicondylitis (golfer's elbow) and received information back about finding someone who specializes in ART (Active Release Technique) and/or the Graston Technique. I found a sports chiropractor in the area that does both...

    James, actually found some places locally on the ART site and a couple that do Graston so may have some options. Thanks for the information.

    Golfer's Elbow - Medial Epicondylitis

    Bill, yes I talked to our coach today and he is good with her at 1B for the rest of the season and will only put her back in to throw when we tell him she is good to go. This isn't the best time for her to be down, but we will deal with it to make sure she is 100% before risking additional...

    Golfer's Elbow - Medial Epicondylitis

    FP26, I can't say for sure. She has not mentioned any tingling or numbness. My wife took her to the doctor so not sure all she tested for, but I will definitely double check. Glad to hear your DD has recovered or at least has it under control with the brace. Thank you for the information.

    Golfer's Elbow - Medial Epicondylitis

    I hear you, between my thumb from catching her drop, left shoulder from chasing wild pitches and just the amount of overall throws made have taken its toll...wouldn't have it any other way though...

    Golfer's Elbow - Medial Epicondylitis

    I know looking for medical advice online isn't the best path, but DD has gone to doctor and doing PT, just looking for additional information from any of you that have successfully dealt with this as I am not finding much information online in regards to this and fastpitch. 15 yr. old DD has...

    Metal cleats for pitcher?

    DD uses Mizuno's with Tuff Toe for the last 3 or 4 years as she was never a fan of the older Ringors due to the weight and just seemed clunky to her. She does use the Ringor trainers with pitching toe because I refused to buy her another pair of tennis shoes to tear up. She has not tried the...
