    Two kinds of softball players ...

    I wish it was that simple to categorize my two DD's as a Type 1 or Type 2! Mine are both a mix between the two, but the biggest thing I have noticed about them are: DD#1 - Born without a lick of athletic talent, but somehow born with an absolute love for the game of softball. She is the type...

    Worsening TB situation and as parents not sure how to proceed

    My DW and I just wanted to get some other opinions and advice on a situation that has recently arisen with our current TB coach. We do not want to be “those parents”, and have done very well so far not saying anything to any of the other parents or in earshot of our DD’s. We have only...

    DD has expressed a desire to pitch

    My 12 year old DD has expressed a desire to start pitching. I talked it over with her private coach that works weekly with her and DD # 2 on hitting and fielding and he would be happy to start working with her on pitching as she has convinced him with the amount of work she has put in on her...

    Bat storage rack ideas

    My wife and I annually donate at least 1 or 2 bats to girls in our local program. We found it better to donate directly to a couple of players instead of to the "program" as inevitably the donated bats would become the property of the coaches kid! Over the last 3 years of stopping in...

    Bat storage rack ideas

    I have recently run into a storage issue for my 2 DD's growing accumulation of bats (now up to 14)! I will probably build a rack out of wood for them for Christmas, but was hoping some other DFP members would be willing to share some photos of what they are currently using to give me some...

    Private Lessons

    Tried the practice logs with my 2 DD's, DID NOT WORK! Made practicing seem like work instead of something they wanted to do. Totally agree with having a PC, since my DD's have been going to one, everything both their TB coach and I have been trying to get them to do in their swings suddenly...

    Swing weight of 31/22 Easton Synergy SRV5B?

    Does anyone know or has anyone calculated the SW of the 31/22 Easton Synergy Speed SRV5B? I have the chance to add one to the seemingly endless collection of bats for my 2 DD's, just not sure either of them will be able to swing just yet, but don't want to pass up the opportunity of owning one...

    Rently purchased LS Xeno 32/21 for DD, need practice bat

    I just want to clarify, the only time she would not be practicing with the Xeno would be in cage with dimpled balls and in their early season games (last season they played more than a couple games with temps in upper 40 degree weather). All of her other practicing would be done wirh the Xeno...

    Rently purchased LS Xeno 32/21 for DD, need practice bat

    Recently we purchsed a 2016 Xeno plus for our DD. We are now looking for an alloy bat that will be comprable in weight and balance for her to use in the cage this winter and in spring games before it warms up. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
