    The Kelly Barnhill Thread

    What about the batter(s) with a juiced up bat? The ump or ump(s) know the bats are juiced. Do you juice up your girl(s) bats to put them level on the field or do you keep playing within the rules? I can't lay my head down at night knowing I let my DD or any other DD use a juiced up bat. Same...

    Screwballs, drops and cruveballs, wherefore art thou at the CWS?

    Couldn't agree more with what y'all are saying...we watched pretty much all the games this weekend and seeing the amount of pitches thrown with bullet spin was mind blowing. To hear the commentators call bullet spin "beautiful" was terrible too!! REALLY?!?! That wasn't a rise!! That was a high...

    Back hand/flip change

    DD has really worked hard on her circle change since learning IR...it does indeed spin 12/6 and falls off the table! I couldn't figure out for the life of me why but now I know! I have seen her lock up really good hitters with this pitch and when they do make contact they either drive it...

    Test Thread

    The Kid took up soccer as a fun thing to do...I see it as an opportunity for better agility and conditioning for softball. Am I a bad parent? And I still say Pepsi is better than Coke.

    Quincy, I will haiku again if you start talking about legalities! Thanks my friend!

    My 14U daughter and her lack of drag foot. Help!

    Java's drive mechanics sticky as well as Java's two step drill on youtube...DD had similar issues with clearing her hips to get her arm through. 2 step, 2 step, 2 step.

    Fingers Crossed

    We may just wind up with TWO DFP DD's pitching for the same team!! And, they got a legit shot at making a lot of noise. Team is going to be crazy good IMHO... On a side note: if we can get the big Aussie coach to pronounce The Kid's name right it will be even cooler😂😂😂. Can't wait for May!! (The...

    Hello Elbow, defined: "Whence a bucketdad, such as myself, finds DFP, and consequently spends the next 6 months firing 3 pitching coaches, almost divorces the darling wife, fights with darling daughter countless hours on said bucket, finally finds a true I/R coach, and is finally getting said...

    When did you know?

    I will know when it's over when she tells me. As far as I/R, she's still working on it. She's 13, about to turn 14. She fought me and her current PC so hard on converting, as she started pitching in 10U. She loves the game; it used to be not so long ago that I had to ask her to go throw with me...

    Clean up the room!

    18 year old DS whining the other day while I am on the bucket with DD, who is 13 and the baby: "You never did this with me! Caleb and I never got this much attention." Caleb is the other son who is 19 and playing college football. My reply: "Yeah, well neither one of you two threw a softball as...

    Clean up the room!

    Dude, we threaten throat punches and Chinese water torture at my house...DD is 13 and her room looks like a hobo lives in it. If the hobo was a blind serial killer...just getting her to leave those funky cleats outside is a win at my house.

    Screwball help

    Now that y'all mention it, The Kid has started to work on the rise and her ability to throw it is due largely in part to her learning the screwball. She doesn't have true 9-3 break on her screw but she can move it very well. It has caused a lot of swings and misses but when she leaves it fat, it...

    Playing dodgeball with a fastpitch pitcher...

    Saw this on Fb last night---HILARIOUS!! DW came into the room and said, "WTH are you laughing at so hard? I asked if she saw the video---DW responds, Oh yeah. The Kid saw it too; says it looks like her and a friend playing dodgeball at their MS." THANKS FOR SHARING!!

    USFA vs NSA vs USSSA

    Geography, definitely. Here in Central Florida, PGF is starting to make inroads. NSA and USFA are a crap shoot for quality teams depending on the weekend...U-trip tends to draw the middle of the road teams. U-Trip ES is pulling in the better teams along with ASA; those are where you will find...

    Screwball help

    With meece and Neeld on this one; POSTURE. When DD spins it and she is in proper alignment, it breaks hard to a right handed batter. Getting her to maintain proper posture and not fall over was a big challenge. I live in Florida, close to the equator, so the pull of the tides plays a roll in...

    What glove do you bucket dads use to catch?

    Under Armour Framer. 85$ on Ebay. Great padding, and when the FB hits it it sounds like a .22 going off.
