    Why I chose not to play college softball

    Recently read an article in the paper about a girl in southern Ohio. Best player to go through her school in a long long time. Set most of offensive records at her high school. Had some D1 offers and just flat out turned them all down. Said once she found out D1 practices are lifting every...

    Wilson Shock FX 2.0

    That helmet is a bit more expensive and probably better than the one my dd used for 4 years, but she absolutely loved hers. And had no problems with any of the padding coming loose. Here is the one she used. Wilson Silver Shock FX Catchers Helmets DD said that ricochets off the mask still had...

    Bustos - Howard Carrier

    Must be a pathetic life to feel so inadequate to have to try to discredit someone in every post they are mentioned in. We get it, you don't like his teachings or is it that deep down inside you are extremely jealous of his success? (No need to answer, we already know) Good God man, let it go!

    SNF drill

    Five, are you refuting what Jim said or proving it? Just asking because it seems like any time someone makes a statement and someone immediately posts a video without any comment it is usually meant as a rebuttal. But in this case I see it as being in agreement. Jim said "It should actually...

    Videos of my 10U DD taking cuts during batting practice, front toss from 20 feet,

    Had a freshman lead the varsity team this year with a swing that resembled this. She batted .544

    Need help with what I think is "casting"

    FFS, You love to quote this a lot, and it is good advice to follow on most occasions. What I find ironic is that you love to quote Mark while you are dogging this particular piece of equipment. And I am pretty sure I remember Mark Hanson as saying he believed the whip hit to be one of the...

    While watching the Nebraska vs Florida WCWS game tonight (in it's 11th inning)...

    softballphreak, I don't think you got the jest of it.

    While watching the Nebraska vs Florida WCWS game tonight (in it's 11th inning)...

    And if you watched the replay in slow motion it appeared that the runners foot made it through to the bag before the tag, but then was pulled off because of the girl sitting on her. Heck of a game, no matter who you were rooting for.

    How's your HS season going?

    Weather here is crappy. DD's team was fortunate enough to get in 2 scrimmages so far. First scrimmage our team won 22-2, second scrimmage we won 25-1. Believe it or not both games the other teams did not have more than 2 or 3 errors both games. Neither team had good pitching and our girls...

    FFS and others please give feedback

    I know what you are going through, except my daughter was a freshman and it was her varsity coach that conflicted. So didn't really have the option of finding another coach. I took dd to a Bustos clinic and to several trips to a very good hitting coach that teaches her prinicples. Varsity...

    Capturing video and converting to slow motion

    Quicktime for quick and easy frame by frame viewing. Kinovea for good side by side comparisons of 2 swings. Another thing I really like about Kinovea is you can take video and make a picture of one frame. Works alot better to get a picture at or close to contact than trying to time it just...

    Giving Players a Game Ball

    Daughter got a game ball last year in championship game of a tournament (14u). She is a catcher and ball was given to her by the umpire crew. She felt pretty good about getting it. But what was funny was that we lost and it could not have been more obvious that umpireing crew wanted the other...

    Run Thru or Dive Head First to 1st Base?

    I am almost certain that running through would be faster. The only time I think a head first slide should be expected is to avoid a pickoff. Otherwise it should be feet first. Much safer. Besides that I recall seeing somewhere, maybe on here, where some studies were done and feet first...

    Teaching Hitting and the HIP COIL

    I believe I saw the same video. Howard was viewed from the side, not from the rear. He ran his finger up and down his forearm showing the placement of the hands stacked over the elbow. At NO time did he say that he desired a perfectly vertical stack. He simply stated that they should be in...

    Teaching Hitting and the HIP COIL

    Wow 10 1/2 hrs and no response from FFS. Wonder what kind of end around he is conjuring up now. ;)
