Mizuno Fastpitch Bats
Picked up a 2016 Nighthawk 33/23 on eBay last year for $55. DD used it freshman JV ball then last year 14u. Hit a couple of long hr in JV then led 14u in avg. Using over CF5. Says she likes way ball comes off without the “fake ting” sound some of the high priced bats have. Bat has more of a...- burt61

Monday brag 5-30
Proud parent moment as DD hit her first over the fence home run! It was a no doubter as several coaches and fans estimated it traveled 230 happy feet. She plays for a 14U team and turns 14 later this month. She's in her 2nd year of travel ball and the hard work is starting to pay off. Now...- burt61

The Weekend Part 2
We ran our BB steal play twice today with success. Runner on 3rd batter draws walk. Jogs to 1st the turns and heads to 2nd. Pitcher instinctively throws to 2nd at which time 3b runner breaks for home and scores. Coach comes out to settle team down. Later in inning wth 2 outs same situation...- burt61

team clasifications
My dd 14u team falls into the A/B middle ground. Last weekend we played in an A tourney. We finished 2-4 but considered it successful because we are so young, start a 12u aged pitcher and stayed competitive in most games. All girls except one is from same school district and only one is a high...- burt61

2015 combat portent g3
DD swings a 33/23 CF5 and has had a Combat Wanted G3 as a backup in her bag for about a year. She too, refused to swing it as she thought it weighed a tad heavier and was more end weighted. I used it to hit fly balls etc.. After teasing her for weeks, she finally pulled it out for hitting...- burt61

Boombah Tsunami
DD's 12u coach picked one up for his daughter for a tourney last summer around 139. She led the tourney in hits and has used ever since. Honestly, that girl could probably use any Walmart special bat and still lead team. Often wondered if she was using a more proven bat would she hit better...- burt61

Combat Bats?
DD last year used a Combat Wanted 2014 32/22 all white bat for fall/winter ball that I picked up under $100. It was her first year of ball (12 u late bloomer) and she really liked the bat after it broke in. During spring practice it developed a rattle and was replaced under warranty. Combat...- burt61

12 yr old newbie swing help!
Have watched you and your daughter's videos many times and will continue to do so. Had practice this afternoon and DD swing is improving. Like some of her teammates she has yet to learn to drive ball with with her lower half. Funny thing happened after hitting 12-15 line drive/hard ground...- burt61
