    Power Carbon F21

    DD had a F19 last almost 11 months before it cracked. Sent quite a few over the fence with it. Mizuno sent us out at replacement as soon as we showed that we were shipping the damaged bat with a tracking number since we needed it fast for an indoor winter tourney 6 days away. Rep advised us...

    CF9 or CF Zen?? Help

    The cf9 -11 was a special bat. Probably the hottest my daughter ever owned. Head to head cf9 if money and durability aren’t an issue

    The putrid cleats of pestilence...

    We tried everything. Nothing worked until someone suggested we try Fresh Fogger. Worked amazing and we have three softball players in the house with putrid cleats.

    First pair of metal cleats

    For those that say to give NB a chance. How long have you had them and are they holding up well? DD prefers mids which makes this all the much harder. Im trying to convince her to to give regular spikes a go so she has more of a selection but you know how that goes with any 13yo

    First pair of metal cleats

    I read somewhere else on here that it can be more than that. Wish local stores had more of a selection and not have to deal with the online returns

    First pair of metal cleats

    You know how it is if your daughter just got to 14u and doesn't have metal cleats. Its not cool lol. I'm going to pull the trigger and get her a new pair . Im thinking of going straight to Ringor but they're expensive. I don't mind paying if they will last. How true are they to size? DD...

    Interference or obstruction?

    12u A ball. It was a very quick play where obviously someone could of gotten hurt. Had the runner ran behind the fielder in this instance would their be any basis for this call? Just trying to avoid this in the future and coach the girls accordingly. thanks

    Interference or obstruction?

    Runner gave way/ slowed up with at least 3 feet of room for the shorstop to make a play. Hp ump claimed runner altered the the short stops decision ability to make a play by suddenly slowing . If the the short stop clearly has right of way in this situation shouldn't she had continued on her...

    Interference or obstruction?

    USSSA tournament 8-6 ball game and we are down with 2 outs. Runners on second and third. Hitter lines one on the ground toward the short stop. Runner on second and shortstop are on a collision course. Our runner slows up to avoid being hit by the ball and colliding with the short stop. Short...

    Tell me you were watching that!!! (UGA/FL) SPOILER ALERT

    Caught the replay on ESPN3 with DD after we got home from her practice. She was rooting for Florida and me Georgia. Told her to hang in there but she dozed off bottom of the sixth after a long day. Needless to say she woke up startled and bug eyed after I jumped up screaming "it's outta there"...

    Worst player on the team. How do you deal?

    You stated earlier that your daughter can hang easily with any of those girls on the team in the field. Sounds like shes just lacking confidence at the plate. Very similar to my daughter. She's an awesome first base player but that confidence she has never transfered to the bat. Hitting is...

    Classy umpire

    Glad I came across this post this evening. My daughter pitched a no hitter in MS ball and they mercied the other team. Her coach tried to squeeze in two more sub batters (8th graders who don't play much) after the mercy run came in and the ump wanted nothing to do with it and the coach started...

    Who makes small face masks?

    Worths metal mask works well for smaller girls. My oldest used it for 3 years until 10u. After that it's hard to fit a pair of sunglasses in there which your daughter will need as she grows and plays more. Currently she uses a rip it mask. No issues yet with any straps

    hitting power

    Il softball fan The bat your daughter current swings basically is a -10. Eastons are notorious for coming in 1-2 ounces heavier than listed. Check out the bat weight data base over in the equipment forum. Maybe try a cf or xeno if your looking for more pop.

    Football drill and bullet spin

    The problem with the football is although it's great in unlocking the elbow... too much football tossing can result in the athlete carrying the ball beyond the bottom of the circle... as a football is a bit bulkier than a softball. Kids rubber football is what we used. Much smaller, better...

    Football drill and bullet spin

    Football drill worked for my daughter. We always started overhand then underhand for feel. "Turn the knob " was the cue that got her to release and get the correct spin. Did take a few weeks.
