    What's the call?

    Runner coming home. Bat is in the baseline. Runner slides in and hits the bat which somehow pops up and hits the ball (low throw) coming into home. What's the call?

    NFCA Coaches College

    I stumbled across the National Fastpitch Coaches Association website earlier this year and noticed they have a collection of courses called the Coaches College. I am considering attending one of the courses but am worried it might be too advanced. One of my reasons for thinking that is I...

    Who Do You Think's the Best Hitter...and Why

    I was directed to this database of softball skills videos by a local coach who tells me it's a favorite of a college coach friend of his and wanted to throw it out there to all you hitting instructors. What I want to know is who do you think has the best swing and why. Also, who do you think...

    Capturing video and converting to slow motion

    I realize that. Unforunately I can't zoom with my iPhone. Also, some of the parents provide me video clips of my daughter pitching in games but I would like to be able to slow it down to look at it in detail.

    Capturing video and converting to slow motion

    Let me preface this by saying I'm no technical expert...but I know a lot of you are and I was hoping to take advantage of some of that expertise. I would like to be able to take video, either that I shoot or that I capture off the net, and convert it to slow motion so I can look at my...

    Hitting instruction

    Thanks, SoGASoftball. You are definitely correct. I wasn't in any way complaining about the fact the she was given homework. What I wanted to get feedback on is what the homework was. Sometimes girls don't have access to a lot of tools and/or a parent that they might need in order to do some...

    Hitting instruction

    I want to get some input from hitting instructors and students (or their parents) on what kind of things (drills, etc.) your hitting instructor "prescribes" for your daughter between lessons. This would be both during the playing season and in the offseason. The reason I ask is my 14U...

    Doc Yeager/ IsoBaseball Videos

    Never mind. It was my computer. Question: It seems that at some point MC gets to palm up/palm down before contact. Is his "hitting zone" just shorter?

    Doc Yeager Authorized Training Course

    I was just flipping through the posts and saw this and was curiuous if this class took place and, if so, how did the softball players do? Did they improve?

    Dropping of the hands

    How about "pinning" the bat to the shoulder and just having the girl turn? That would seem to accomplish the same thing. I'm just wondering if there are any negatives to doing this.

    Dropping of the hands

    Need to get ideas on what drills all you hitting instructors out there like to address dropping of the hands. I know there are a lot of them out there, but which ones are you favorites and why? I'd like to get as many ideas as possible. Sometimes what works for one girl has absolutely no...

    Managing an AB: Pitch selection/working the count

    I'd like to get some feedback from you hitting coaches on how and what you teach girls about pitch selection and working the count, setting up the pitcher/catcher, watching the way the fielders cheat when they get the sign, etc. I realize that there are a ton of variables that go into this...

    Advice for new rec coach

    A lot of good advice here, but please, please remember this: Boys have to play well to feel good about themselves while girls have to feel good about themselves before they'll play well. Oh, and also remember they really don't care how much you know, only how much you care about them:-)

    LA LaFayete- Split Grip

    One thing you will notice on all the "split-grip hitters" of ULL is they pretty much stop at contact. Michael Lotief Hitting Style - YouTube Split Grip - YouTube Michael Lotief Hitting Style Description - YouTube I will tell you this. You can't argue with ULL's stats. They are one of...
