I just watched this video. Two young ladies hitting. Each testing different bats. Interesting to see their results. One hit best with the power carbon 2.

DD was helping a scout last night/ owner of On Deck Sports. They have a new measuring aid. Similar to a Rev Fire. Shows speed of the ball, revolutions, direction of spin. DD's truest spin direction on her breaking pitches was her screw ball. She found squeezing her ring finger gave her more spin...

I hope this young woman does well for her new team! A player my DD played with last summer is on the team that dropped this young woman.
Right now DD has plateaued in speed. Watching video all her speed comes from the upper body. She's leaving her drive leg behind. Are there any drills that can get the drive leg to finish strong and in sync with the arm whip? I always hear knee to knee finish. The ball is long gone with her...
Oldest DD wanted a Nike bat bag. Plays slow pitch now and needs more room for(drinking)gear. Got her the Nike special ops rolling bat bag. Best deal was at Bed Bath and Beyond...
Just bought it. Will ship tomorrow. Anyone have a DD that uses it? I hope my DD likes it. She's always reluctant to use new equipment but it was reduced in price by $80. Kip leather and sheepskin lining. Plus I think it will look good with her High School and Club uniform!
DD had fun today. Was able to work with Sis Bates! DD hit a couple over today while having a blast with upper classmen!

Just found out my DD's new high school coach will be DD's biggest competitors father. Not sure how I feel about this. Other girl is a phenomenal player but if her dad is coach then I don't think there will be a fair competition for positions.
We played in a tournament this summer called National All star tournament. During pool play the coach from each team was asked to select 2 "All Star" players from the other team. The 2 players from each team that had the most votes at the end of the tournament were then placed on the "all star...
DD has a new teammate that makes the team better. The girls are pecking at her behind the scenes. This girl was my DD’s best friend’s best friend 6 years ago, moved, so I see why my DD is jealous. The girl is better than 2 other players so I see why those girls are jealous.
New player is...
Does anyone really believe that? It’s about the egos of parents, coaches, and organizations. At least it’s that way where we live!
Blackballed from our hometown fields because we dared to do better for the kids!
That’s my rant for today!
Our team moved up age brackets to 16U and it’s fitting daughter would hit #16 in first game.

DD has had the opportunity to play for an older team that has superior catching to her current team. I’ve noticed a jump in speed with the better catching. DD has more confidence in her movement pitches and more confidence when placing a pitch inside on the batter.
I feel my DD needs the...
Selling CF8 for $100. Used for a partial season. It's in very good shape. It's in DD's bat bag as her backup. She doesn't use it. Bought another backup bat today.
