    Ripken/Jennie Finch Throw Like a Girl tourney in Myrtle

    Anyone been to this? My (14U) DD's team is going. But my (12U) younger DD will be with us and she would like to be able to sit with the team on opening day for Jennie Finch stuff, meet Jennie take pic etc. My Older DD's coach says we should probably roster my younger DD to the team so we can...

    Help me decipher this Louisville PXT description

    So after a little online research I came across the new 2018 line up . I'm Trying to figure out what this PXT actually is and how it's different than the LXT or Xeno. My 14yo has only ever loved the 2015 black/blue LXT (she's had 2) and she needs to move to a 33" soon and I'm not going to pay...

    Boombah Cleats any good?

    Need new cleats for DD ASAP. She has hit a growth spurt and outgrew all of her shoes overnight. We normally buy New Balance molded cleats but they are perpetually sold out of the size we need just about everywhere. We've tried Nike and UA in the past and don't care for them . She has severs...

    question on using the pocket radar (newbie)

    just ordered my Black Friday deal and can't wait for it to arrive and get to using it!! I know the basics on how to use it, DD's pitching coach has one and so does her TB coach. I'm just curios if we can use it at home when she practices into a net? We have a full pitching rubber and she...

    whats the hotter bat out of the wrapper CF8 or CF9?

    or are they pretty much the same? DD1 is DYING to try a Demarini. there are some sweet deals on both right now (black friday). would you get a new cf8 in wrapper for $210 to save some cash or spring a little more for the cf9? we've never used a Demarini, strictly Louisville over here so we have...

    Had a lesson with Rick Pauly!!

    It was great! Just wanted to thank everyone here for all of the pitching advice in the threads and via PM over the last year. DD is only 11, and still has a ways to go, but I feel like she's had the very best start a kid could get. Her first lesson ever in her life was at age 9.5 with Denny...

    whats the best radar for personal use

    Just to use in practices, occasional check ins. DD has been "clocked" on at least 3, if not 4, different people's radars and the results vary 1-2 mph in either direction so it's hard to tell if she's really making progress. I think it's time to get our own, consistent, monitoring since she's...

    Help (with video) please

    DD is doing some weird stuff. At some point this Fall we stared really concentrating on IR and spin. Then her mechanics started to get a little sloppy. I see things. I try to get her to tweak stuff and she just gets frustrated with me. She will Say she doesn't understand what I'm asking her...

    2 seam VS 4 seam fastballs/disadvantage?

    My DD only throws 2 seamers. At some point she just made the switch and now that's all she throws. is there a disadvantage to this? I asked her why and she just replied " I like it better". She's 11. on the small side. doesn't throw very fast, cruising speed is 43-45. her forte is...

    Does a bat really "go dead"?

    DD has a 2015 LXT. We bought it last fall for $100 new in wrapper. It had been sitting on a shelf unsold at one of the indoor batting cages we go to. she had the identical 1" shorter bat and loved it so we couldn't pass up the deal. She has used this bat exclusively for the last year. In cold...

    Valgus extension overload in elbow possible when pitching? Need opinons

    trying to find out how much, if any, valgus stress is placed on a pitchers elbow in fastpitch? DD has inflammation of her MCL (ulnar ligament). DH and I have always noticed she doesn't have great overhand throwing mechanics and have made attempts to change her but not much luck. She presented...

    I/R, Brushing and the screwball??

    Should a pitcher that pitches IR, and naturally brushes, be brushing when throwing a screwball? DD was struggling with hers a little tonight. She said something about her arm hitting into her in a weird way, So I said to try throwing it with no brush. Told her to try really stepping out more to...

    Tried & True tips for de-stinking a glove?

    DD's glove smells like something died in it. It's a nice Wilson that she has finally gotten broken in how she loves it ,so buying her a new glove is a last resort. However, this thing smells terrible. Like imagine cleats smell but in a glove. Started after they had to play all day in the rain...

    question: Brush Interference/ self taught?

    first off I will say that I didn't even know what BI was up until recently. My DD is only 10. She started to pitch last winter (November, age 9). She learned the basics and went out and pitched. It was sometime around mid Spring/Summer of last year that we realized that she could actually be...
