    Slam Ball

    Thanks, very informative and i would’ve never thought about splicing the ropes, makes good sense though.

    Slam Ball

    Looks nice, quick question though, how did you attach the PVC pipe? It looks like you knotted it, slide it through the PVC, knotted again and then taped it all together at the ball, is that correct?

    Pitcher struggling with overhand throw

    Trust me, take the time to make sure she’s throwing properly and things will work out. We are currently coming off of a two month rehab for my 12 yo daughter cause she fractured her growth plate from not throwing correctly. When she wasn’t pitching, she played outfield and up until this year, it...

    Does she throw a "heavy" ball?

    I’m in the same situation with my 12yo, she doesn’t throw as fast as the other two pitchers on our team but man is it painful to catch her. It’s actually to the point that this old mans shoulder will hurt if I catch her for to long, lol! I think Riseball hit the nail right on the head, my...

    Viewing DFP on my iPad

    Unfortunately, the only way I’ve been able to eliminate it was by disabling java, which works but then most videos won’t load. I haven’t tried tap talk yet but thanks for the tip sb03!

    Making the switch from right to left

    Thanks everyone for all the input! I believe my daughter might be right eye dominant, from the tests we’ve tried. I’ve read mixed things on this though, and honestly, her hitting was so bad at the end of this last year, I wonder if she even had her eyes open at all, lol! Things went a little...

    Best way to set up a rubber in the garage

    I did exactly what 4 girls dad did above and it works great! I bought a pitching rubber off of Amazon and glued it down and used the thick white gorilla tape for a power line, which is obviously, optional. Unfortunately, it’s not really portable cause it’s heavy but it doesn’t slide at all and...

    Making the switch from right to left

    Thanks for the replies everyone, it’s encouaging to see so many that have done this successfuly! Anyone have any go to drills that they used to help in this transition? What would you do on a daily basis to help facilitate this move? I discover new drills and tips here, on a daily basis, but...

    Making the switch from right to left

    Thanks for the reply Coach! Had her take a few swings tonight and it looks pretty stiff and, of course, feels weird but it didn’t look as bad as I thought it would! She’s also a pitcher so I’m hoping that that motion might help this transition. I’m hoping that with that being her dominate side...

    Making the switch from right to left

    Looking to switch daughter from batting right to left side. A little back story, daughter is left handed but was taught early on, in a local Rec league, to bat from right side. I honestly don’t think they realized that she was left handed until close to their first game, lol. She was a quick...

    Pitching and scoliosis

    Thanks for taking the time to respond everyone! She was diagnosed with this problem by a doctor in sports medicine, from our area, and he seems pretty hopeful that PT will help her. Right now she's in therapy three times a week to strengthen her core, hips and knees so hopefully things will...

    Pitching and scoliosis

    Can pitching lead to scoliosis in some cases? My 11yo daughter, who has been pitching for two years, was recently diagnosed with slight scoliosis causing her pelvis to rotate anteriorly on the right side. About a month ago, I noticed that she was having trouble keeping her drive foot at a 45...

    10u PGF pitcher speed OMG

    My daughter took a line drive right in the lower left abdomen in a tournament a couple weeks ago. She tried to throw it inside and left it flat right down the middle. It came off the girls bat so fast she couldn't even react and it caught her right below the chest protector. Luckily she just...

    Pitching coach, Ken Krause, my first complaint!

    Hi Shooting star, this is my first post too, and I feel your pain! My daughter is still in 10u but she's a lefty that has always had a drop type spin to her pitches so I've had many swollen ankles and bruises! I've trained myself though, and they laugh at me at practice cause my legs go up and...
