    How Many emails to send to a College Coach?

    How many emails are your DDs sending to a college coach before giving up? (or getting the point, that the school is not interested?) DD sent a video from to the coach, got a response after the first email (the hitting we taped was great), but the coach wanted more defensive video footage...

    Kendyl Lindaman transfers to Florida...

    After watching Lindaman pound the ball in 2017 with Jessica Allister as a coach, you knew the next 3 years were going to be a blast watching Kendyl crush the ball... Allister leaves... and a new coaching staff comes in, in 2018 TO ME...it seemed as if Kendyl changed her swing in 2018 with the...

    Swing Form/Technique Scan on Gaming Console?

    OK, here's a long shot... The only gaming console we every bought for our DDs was a Xbox 360 The only games we ever bought for the Xbox was the games that were activity oriented where the DDs had to run, jump, swing a bat, dance... The Xbox 360 had an infrared scanning device on a pedistal in...

    Player Video Recoding Themselves Batting or Pitching

    Have any of you batting or pitching coaches set up video cameras in a batting cage or pitching cage, and had the batter/pitcher watch the video play backs with a full size TV right there next to the cage? I talking about on a full sized 55" or 65" HD TV, not on their cell phone screens Or how...

    HR or Four Base Error

    Scenario... batter hits a long high ball to left field, the outfielder is clearly inside of the fence by 2-3', she "pushes" her glove upwards to catch the ball, but punches the ball upward and over the fence. Since the outfielder was clearly inbounds, by 2-3', (and her glove wasn't over the...

    Hammerin' Junk....4 HRs in one game

    Last year with my oldest DD, being an aggressive batter paid off...for my younger DDs as well DD2 (16yo) might be a little too agrressive at times...but it's fun to watch. 1st at bat...up the middle rise ball, HR puts a dent in a car in the parking lot. I step it off...~265' or so...ya, ya I...

    Fixing a Segmented Swing and a flat lead elbow...?'s

    OK, DD3 is a 10th grader. 5'9", 175 lbs, lean and lanky looking. She's pretty strong from lifting weights. But she is very loose i the joints, so to speak. She's a right handed batter. Here's what we can't seem to fix. Hinge angle, or the angle of the lead elbow. Her lead elbow (left elbow)...

    Hitting in a cage

    Questions here about how some batter's swings are changed when hitting in a cage... I've always taught my DDs to just hit the ball hard, that's it. Inside, outside, high and low just hit it hard. Hitting my DDs in our batting cages, if its a jammed inside pitch, the ball slams into the left...

    Player and College Coaching Compatability ?s

    These questions are in regards to a player's abilities in adapting to a certain type of College Coaching System. Our DDs can have hopes and aspirations of playing at their dream College, wherever that may be. For the sake of this thread let's say your DD has everything their Dream College is...

    Radar for Throwing/Exit Speed with Large Display for a Single User

    I'd like to set up a radar gun on the back side of the batting cage with one of the large displays. So the DDs can hit and see exit speed mph readings on their own, without someone else holding the radar gun and resetting it every time the ball is hit. Bushnell, Pocket Coach, and Net Playz...

    App/Program to Compare GIFs

    Is there an app or program to compare GIFs side by side? I'd like to compare a Miggy GIF to a one of my daughter's GIF side by side, on the same page/screen. Whether it be on a desk top, tablet or smart phone... And if there is such an app, is it easy to set-up? Thanks

    Improving the HR to at Bat Ratio...

    After not even playing on the JV squad at the beginning on her 9th grade year, this was a fast and furious journey... No my DD is not a D-1 phenom, but she's a pretty good hitter. Playing college ball literally didn't enter our vocabulary until after her 10th grade HS season in the Spring...

    Swingin' for the Fence...Horse Power Fastpitch

    Bear with me here... None of these question are loaded or baited. And no, I'm not playing dumb... But, I just don't understand this. When you see a 10, 12 or 14U girl starting out in fast pitch, who has 2.6 to 2.8 speed with agility, you normally think of one thing...SLAPPER! Especially if...

    First Base Gloves...?s

    Looking for a top end glove for my oldest DD. 5'10" with big hands. She currently has the Xeno fisst base FP glove, but it got really floppy in 9 months. I bought a Nokona 13" First base glove and a Rawling 12.5" Heart of the Hide first base fast pitch gloves for her to try. The hand opening on...

    Getting there...Speed and Strength...

    DD#2 is 14 YO and is the athlete of our bunch. But she can be a little stubborn at times. Finally got her to change her sprinting form to get more of a jump out of the gates. Lean more and pump your arms...before she'd pop straight up and her arms would move like a marathoners arms. Ran her...
