    Mind Blown! Need to

    Wow! What an amazing 2 days this has been. I'm speechless, exhausted, overwhelmed and sunburnt. We drove from Florida to Ny for a pitching lesson! We were going to the northeast to see family anyway so it was just a little detour in our trip so if it sucked it wouldn't been to terribly...

    Hitting baseballs with softball bat

    I'm sorry if this has been asked before! Is it bad for the bat (xeno softball bat 33/23) to hit baseballs? Dd has a hitting coach that only has baseballs, I've heard it's not good to hit baseballs with a softball bat? Just wondering if it's true or myth. And if it is bad in bat, do you think...

    Once again Rose gets shafted

    We were so excited for this HS season! We live in a small town, not many dedicated softball players. My dd is one of 3 pitchers in the entire softball program. We have an already committed player with tendinitis in her elbow real bad, she's a good pitcher, she's not going to college to pitch...

    What would you do?

    If you have a pitcher that knows the basic fundamentals of I/R, drills pretty decent, but on full pitch she Wipes the Wall every time. Essentially throwing a change up every pitch. Talking about my own kid. Last night I went in front of the tarp and practiced throwing in slo mo with an...

    Legs before arms

    I've been watching lots of video and while we all know the legs need to lead the arms, the emphasis is on firing the legs quick so the arms are following, I get that and it makes sense. ive been trying to use my arms to drive my body forward but when I do that my arm circle slows down quite a...

    Rant- Google doesn't make you a pitching coach

    Just because you've googled some videos and talked to some college coaches and watched some kids pitch that dos not make you a pitching coach. When a kid tells you she has a pitching coach you should back off. If a kid pitches and makes her defense work! And the don't do their job that is not...

    Baby steps

    My dd is working on her forward lean in the beginning of her pitch getting her back leg in the correct position. I think she's made some small progress? What do you guys think? (I see the excessive bend in her arm but choosing to ignore at this time focusing on lean and overlap.)...

    Worst inning of her life!

    That was my dd words to me last night after a high school game. She pitched one inning and she walked in a ton, she hit 4 or 5 in a row RHB in the leg. (Not normal)! I was watching and usually I'm nervous for her but last night I didn't care I was happy! cuz her speed was up, and she was leaning...

    Pull down or pull in?

    So my dd has a huge problem with muscling her pitches. She's not always done this, but recently it's gotten bad. I've tried to be very careful about what I tell her and other kids on our team when coaching the pitchers, trying to figure out what's right? I was telling her to pull the ball down...

    Glove hand

    What exactly should the glove hand/arm be doing? I've watched videos of the best and it seams no one does the same thing with the glove arm? I'm sure there will be varying opinions on this. I think what my dd does hinders her ability to move freely, her glove arm/hand is very stiff, tight goes...

    First season travel ball player need swing help!

    My dd started TB for the first time in February, she played a few seasons of Rec ball before that. So she's not had any good hitting instruction till this season. Even this season it's been all over the map, everyone seems to tell her something different. She's left handed but throws righty...

    Too much brush

    I got to watch my dd pitch today, actually found a catcher that wants to come with! (Yay). PC and I were standing behind her and we noticed how bad she was getting stuck behind her hip. This is something she has been working on and has made some progress (I thought she did anyway)! She's...
