    Stinger batting gloves

    It's the only batting gloves that last a whole season for her. We're currently on our second set. I guess we've gone from wearing out gloves every 90 days to about a year.

    catcher's helmet

    I also suggest the latest version of the Force3. My DD started using one after getting a pretty severe concussion from a shot she took wearing an Easton JS one last summer. The quality and padding imo is a step above the Easton for sure. She also hasn’t complained of it being heavier. Though at...

    My Kid!

    This is so great! Thanks for sharing. I love this.

    What age did you buy a nicer catcher's mitt?

    Bought a custom Rawling's catcher's mitt for my daughter when she was 14. She's graduating next spring and it's still holding up great!

    Cracked end cap - anyone fix these?

    Wow. Just when you think you've seen it all. That's actually...pretty neat!

    Best pricing on Catcher's Bags? (No Errors, Demarini, Mizuno, Boombah)

    Avoid the No Errors bags. We’ve had nothing but issues with the zippers on them. They replaced the bag and same crap happened within a couple of months with that one.

    Enough for warranty coverage ?

    Um, yeah I'd say so lol.

    Insight from using the one-knee-down receiving stance.

    My DD is a smaller girl. Does it affect her times...probably but not as much than if she were a bigger girl I feel like. But I've told her countless times if shes on the knee to just throw from there. But like most of our daughters here she's hardheaded as a mule. She does get up pretty quick...

    Teaching the high level pattern

    What's that device on her arms?

    Insight from using the one-knee-down receiving stance.

    I'd say majority of the time she gets up to throw. She has one pitcher that she almost exclusively catches knee down (drop ball pitcher). Remainder she drops on the knee when released. Alot of it seems to do with her comfort with the pitcher too.

    Insight from using the one-knee-down receiving stance.

    It doesn't change a thing for my DD. She uses one knee down almost exclusively. She's a blocking machine, hasn't changed that one bit.

    When is it time for a new glove?

    I appreciate your reply. We ordered her mitt with the leather pad and stiff option. I'd read beforehand that with that option they use more substantial leather etc. It was STIFF, and took forever to break in. But here we are several years later, and it still have its shape and looks great. If a...

    When is it time for a new glove?

    I’m just curious and this might be helpful for some folks. Why would you go for the Pro Preferred over the HoH? From what I understand, correct me if I’m wrong, PP uses kip leather?

    When is it time for a new glove?

    Yes sir! Mitt still going strong. Still in great shape. Catch the pocket sounds like a gun shot. Girl at a camp this weekend asked her after catching a very hard throwing pitcher, “Doesn’t your hand hurt?”. She replied “Nope, I didn’t feel a thing”. Easily been the best equipment investment...
