    The ride looks like it is over

    What do I do now?? DD played her last high school game this week. Had a very good season, but the wheels were coming off the track a little at the end. DD is leaning towards not playing travel ball. Been coaching and practicing with her for the last 10 years and love the time we spent...

    GoPro hero 8 and power bank

    I am having a problem using a power bank with my hero 8. Maybe I am doing something out of sequence. I turn on the camera and plug in the ankor 10000mah power bank. Camera shows charging. Problem is that the camera is running off the internal battery. It went dead and the power bank did not take...

    CLOCKING YOUR DD

    How often do you guys clock your DD pitching? Haven't had the pocket radar very long and have just played around with it clocking overhand throws on both of us and getting a base line on some exit velocities. Taking a little break from pitching. I want to clock her enough to keep her from...

    SHOWCASE VS INVTATIONAL

    DD team is going to a tournament next month. The website shows a showcase and an invitational. What is the difference? Pros and cons?

    Game 3

    I can not understand why a game 3 of the WCWS is being played at 3:00 eastern on a Thursday afternoon. Tell me what I am missing. Maybe I am assuming the ratings have been better than they actually were.

    IS AND OUT AN OUT?

    To piggy back on another thread about different types of hits and how they should be tracked, which camp do you guys fall into on strikeouts? I listened to a podcast the other day where they were adamant that a strikeout is just an out. Same swing on any count and trust that you have good...

    BLAST MOTION AND GHOST ADVANCED

    Is anyone using the blast motion sensor on a ghost advanced? About to get DD a new bat and thinking about the GA, but wanted to know if the Blast will fit snuggly no the smaller knob.

    OPTIC YELLOW UNIFORMS

    I did a search for this and did find a thread from 5 years ago. Was wondering if anything has changed in regards to High School teams wearing optic yellow jerseys?

    Pitcher's sleeve

    I have seen some college pitchers and even Cat Osterman(If I remember correctly), wear a sleeve when pitching. Some of these appear to have padding along the forearm. Anyone know where these can be purchased? Thanks

    WOULD LIKE TO WATCH SOME GAMES

    Are there any 14 or 16u games being streamed that can be watched without subscribing to flosoftball?

    Gearing up

    Took a pretty good pounding at DD's last pitching lesson. Pitching lane is dirt, but plate is on a thick mat, so there is about a 1" lip about a foot in front of the plate. DD threw fairly well, but had wild streak in the middle of the lesson. I can keep my legs safe if the lip isn't there...

    AN OUT IS AN OUT???

    I have listened to numbers guys in baseball for several years and I guess some of it goes back to Money Ball, but I have a problem with the "out is an out" philosophy in baseball and softball. Was listening to a former college softball coach on a podcast say that you don't shorten up with 2...

    Indiana vs LSU

    Did anyone else watch the Indiana vs LSU game from this weekend? Was streaming the replay and really enjoyed watching how Indiana played. Something I didn't enjoy was the catcher for Indiana. She would spread her arms apart and slap her glove just before the pitcher was releasing the ball...

    Revfire 2

    So what is the consensus on the Revfire 2? Worth the money, hold off for a while longer, or just tape more balls and get a pocket radar? Thanks

    It's bat day

    It's bat day with louisville slugger. Up to 1/2 off on most bats. Just saved on a LXT for my daughter. She has the ghost and loves it, but needed something for USSSA and this was a pretty good deal.

    Home to first time

    Is there a standard practice used when timing girls from home to first? I am going to do this with a few girls to give them a starting point and then see how much they can improve over a period of time. Was planning on timing from the time of contact to touching first. This will work for what...

    First Base Mitt?

    Need some advice. DD is second year 12u. Pitches and plays a little third. Her new team has been playing her at first base as well. She has a 12" Vinci custom that is awesome, but seems to run a little smaller than some other 12" glove. I am thinking about getting her a bigger glove for...

    14" ball

    I mentioned it in another thread, but figured I would start it's on. PC had DD working on her changeup with a 14" ball. I had seen these on line, but never used one. DD HATES it. I like the idea behind it. She will have to work harder to keep grip and get correct spin with the big ball. DD...

    Bucket dad at a facility.

    Just joined an indoor facility to take my daughter to. They have balls, tees, and the such in the cages to use. My question is, what do you take to sit on? There are no empty buckets and i'm not going to carry mine that has clay on the bottom. Do you take your on bucket that doesn't get on...

    Looking for suggestions

    Be gentle. First video post of my DD. Just turned 12. Had trouble with strike zone this past weekend, so just had her simplify her backswing and throw into the net. This is in slow motion, so i know it is hard to see, but she needs to go faster. Can throw a long ways in long toss, but can...
