    Difference between Demarini CF models

    Hello, This will be my first purchase of a CF series bat and not sure what the differences are. I looked at CF9 and it appeared there was a couple different styles like the Hope, Insane, etc. My daughter has a Xeno that is less than a year old a 31/21. She was struggling with it and the...

    When is it too hot??

    NAFA Nationals games starting tomorrow have temps predicted near 100 with heat index of 115-120. Do the umps call time pretty frequent for water breaks for the girls? Worried about heat exhaustion.

    Baseline rule to first

    Is there an actual rule requiring the player to stay within the base path to first or can they run way outside to avoid a tag? Last weekend during a tournament our 1st baseman was going to apply the tag and the batter ran way out of the base line to avoid the tag and was called safe. During our...

    Pitching video recommendations

    My daughter has moved up to 12U and has shown interest in becoming a pitcher. She's worked a bit with the pitchers from her summer team but hasn't seen any game time yet. I am going to work with her a lot this fall and give her an inning or two during fall ball. Is there any YouTube videos out...

    Mako, CF8 or Xeno

    My daughter is making the jump from 10U to 12U this fall and it's time for a new bat because the other is getting to short on her. The bat she used this summer was the Bustos which she did extremely well with. I have had my eye on the Mako for some time now and done quite a bit of homework on it...
