I am the GC guy for our HS varsity team. I try to be as honest as I can be, but I don't profess to be a professional scorekeeper either. I know what constitutes an error and what doesn't, but at the same time, one thing I admit to doing that isn't "by the book" scorekeeping is that, if there...
She uses the drop 8 in games. She is a HS senior over 6 feet tall so despite my initial skepticism, she has shown she can handle it. My problem is I try to limit how much she uses it in the cage/with HitTrax because those Carbon1's only seem to have but so many swings in them before they start...
Mizuno Carbon One -8 is hottest I've seen. My DD will go back and forth between that and a Ghost in the cage and the difference is striking in terms of EV/distance. Sweet spot is likely smaller that others, and you pay for any jam shots with the one-piece vibration, but if you hit it right...

I am scared to death of my DD hitting a scorcher and hurting a fielder who...
Appreciate the information, folks! I will look into Denny's organization and see what we can do. Hope I haven't waited too long with the season right around the corner.
My first post on DFP, so please be gentle. I've been an avid reader here since I discovered this place 6-8 months ago. I truly believe this is the best resource for softball knowledge on all the innerwebs. I love it and hope I can contribute to the knowledge here at some point.
Anyway, I...
