    2018 Easton Ghost

    Am I out of luck to return a Ghost for warranty replacement without the hologram sticker from the wrapper? Girl on my team has a broken one within 1 year warranty period, has the receipt, but doesn't have the hologram. Thanks

    Fall Softball - How is it done?

    PIAA needs to compress the playoff schedule. A few years ago we qualified for the state tournament. We played our first district playoff game on a Tues. The next game (quarterfinal) was on a week later the following Tuesday. Then the semi-final was the next day on a Wed. Then we waited an entire...

    When it was more than a game

    We had 2 different versions, don't ask me why haha. "Pitcher's hand" the pitcher had to keep his foot on the rubber and stretch as if he was a 1st baseman. "Pitcher's mound" the pitcher just had to be in the area that would roughly be equivalent to the circle in fastpitch. When we played wiffle...

    Hitting in a cage

    We also went with the ropes around the net. Our cage is so low and short that anything that doesn't hit the top of the cage is at best a 1 hopper to an infielder.

    Offseason open gyms

    I am a high school coach in PA. We started conditioning/hitting last week twice a week. We go through a strength/agility circuit for about half an hour then hit for about an hour to an hour and a half depending how many girls we have that day. We keep it pretty informal and loose. None of this...

    2018 Easton Ghost

    One of our players hit it today for first time. She just kept saying "it's so smooth". 200 foot fence, hit a few mis-hits out. Furtherst ball 240 feet (used google earth to measure to that's pretty accurate). What really caught my attention was the way line drives were flying through the...

    2018 Easton Ghost

    I told my one of my players about the Ghost yesterday and she said, "that's the bat Kirsti Merritt has been swinging in her Instagram videos for a few weeks". She showed me the vids and sure enough it is. My player was very excited that she had the scoop before me haha.

    Changing plug on Jugs machine?

    Thanks for the info, very informative. We actually did put a new plug on exactly like the video JAD posted (minus the screw gun), but it didn't work, the old plug wasn't the problem. We later found where the wires were broken/frayed, and it was so far up the cord that had we attached a new plug...

    Changing plug on Jugs machine?

    Thanks YOCOACH...what is the part that I did wrong? We tried a new plug but didn't have any luck. The black and white wires between the clip and plug were what was messed up. I guess they got pinched in there somehow and were all frayed (the frayed part is now gone). What would be the correct...

    Changing plug on Jugs machine?

    Just an update...I bought a plug with the cord already attached. I then cut the old plug out, leaving a couple inches of old black and white wire coming out of the white plastic clip/connector. I then used butt splice connectors to make the connection between the wires of the new plug and the...

    Changing plug on Jugs machine?

    Has anyone ever changed the plug on a JUGS pitching machine and can tell me if it is possible for someone that isn't an electrician? I'm semi-handy, change my own brakes on the car, etc. Our machine will be running fine and then all of the sudden shut off. When you wiggle the power cord just so...

    Value of bunting with second hitter

    We had this situation in a high school game last spring. The other team scored in the top of the 10th (the first inning of ITB for us). Our #5 hitter was up (was 3-4 at that point on the day). I went to her before the inning and said "you aren't bunting, we are going for the win right now". She...

    Showcase strategy: What do you think of this?

    That's a shame. The coach had a chance to showcase (pun intended) his pitcher in a big spot and instead took the ball out of her hands.
