My daughter is in 8th grade and is a pitcher/1B. She is by far their best 1B and is playing there every inning she isn't pitching. I would say she is pitcher #2 on the team of 3 pitchers. She currently has $120 Mizuno glove. Nothing fancy as she was only playing C level a year ago when we...
Is the Unlimited similar to the stiffness of the Xeno? That is my daughter's favorite bat and was thinking this new one piece might be more of something she likes. She has never hit an ADV but was not a fan of the DB Ghost.
These are the two bats my daughter is interested in, as well as the Mantra.
We have a 2016 Xeno that is still hot. Nervous about the ghost breaking. Love the updates
So we are first year 14U and players are 7/8th grade. A good amount are looking for gloves and my thought is they are still growing so go mid line, easy to break-in options (Liberty etc..) and have them get a forever glove before going into high school. We are not a high end going to be a...
My oldest was playing 16A ball and gave up the showcase summer circuit to work an unpaid engineering internship at our state university between her junior and senior year in high school. She programed drones that supplied water for forest fires instead of playing ball. Many of her teammates...
She is into two sports and is choosing basketball and vacations for the summer. Her choice and she seems at peace with it. No one should be playing any sport because a coach is threatening the loss of a varsity position if she doesn't choose it. She should play because she wants to. That's...
But Easton does replace them and the other companies only do once. My daughter's teammates has had her Ghost replaced 3 times over 2 years and paid shipping all 3 times.
Rocketech (especially if you live in an area where it can get cold) or an old Xeno.
We have 2016, 2019 and 2020 Xenos and they have all held up and are still hot.
I use my own iphone linked to a portable charger. I put it on do not disturb and put the display on "always on" and then click on the game changer app (the green one, not classic) and then after the game is put in on events, click it and then click start live. Super easy. We then use a...
True. They probably do testing prior to the season.
The Meta comes in -9 but not sure about -8. The Xenos are so heavy as it is, those -8's have gotta be -7's. I guess that helps the power girls.
Watching a lot of college games this year and those that have:
Easton sponsors are all form of Ghosts
Rawlings sponsors are Mantra and some Quatro (but Quatro was discontinued)
Mizuno sponsors all swing CRBN
So I mean you are looking at basically one type of bat for each sponsor.
But so...
That makes sense. The player was on 1st though because the ball was already thrown back to the circle and as she was walking up to the pitcher's mound, I saw her talking to her base coach standing on 1st. Not sure who decided to take off or if the base coaches told them to.
Definitely...
Like I said we didn’t expect the time out. The umpire is a fastpitch ump. We have had him multiple times in the last 2 years. He umps for the same travel organization. I just couldn’t find anything in the rule book on it and our coaches don’t argue. They just asked if he saw the ball in the...
We were in a game today with 1 ump. Middle of the inning with 1 out, our pitcher walked a batter and now there are baserunners on 1 and 2. The catcher throws the ball back to the pitcher in the circle, turns and requests a timeout and starts walking toward the circle. The girl who slightly...
Hi all,
Just updating that we are going to another PC for a one time lesson and get some more feedback to see what my daughter thinks. She has her own facility, doesn't rely on a catcher, and was highly recommended by multiple people. I will say her speed is up in the high 40's now...
I think that is what her pitching coach was trying to say. That whatever motion or spin she has looks like she could execute a curve ball better than most of her pitchers.
I know a lot about softball and I know the pitches, but I am no PC and was never a pitcher myself. So how to actually...
