    Dealing with high school coaches.

    Update:. The day after getting embarrassed in a loss 12-1, with 6 errors, 3 by the coaches daughter (who finally she decided didn't deserve to hit). I pull up to practice to pick up my daughter and the entire Varsity and JV team are sitting in the grass watching the middle school game! As it...

    Dealing with high school coaches.

    Not everyone is a super star and there is such thing as humility. She is a very above average pitcher and tops on her travel team, it just so happens the starting pitcher is better than her. She is an average travel ball player, on this team she is starting 9 worthy and compared to the kids...

    Dealing with high school coaches.

    It is more like she picks favorites, there are seniors sitting the bench who are better than some of ones that are playing. Also there is 1 freshman starter, she deserves it, it just so happens my daughter plays the same position as the coaches daughter and a senior who's parent is highly...

    Dealing with high school coaches.

    These is 1 other freshman who is deserving of starting over another player, but it isn't as obvious. If they inserted my daughter and this other freshman for 2 of the girls who haven't hit, the team could at least stand a chance in some of the games. The top of the line up is pretty decent, the...

    Dealing with high school coaches.

    Thanks for your response and I agree and would never have her compare herself to anyone when speaking to the coach. I was using it as a point of reference. Multiple other parents are encouraging the older girls to speak up on my daughters behalf. Sent from my motorola one 5G ace using Tapatalk

    Dealing with high school coaches.

    I would like some feedback on how to handle this current situation my daughter is going through as a freshman on her school team. She is an average player, she has been playing softball since she was 8, plays travel and is a pitcher/outfielder. Our high school team is terrible and has been for...

    Best and easiest Screwball

    My DD throws a "screwball". She kicks her butt out, steps slightly out and holds the ball on the horseshoe and spins the ball to the right(left for the catcher) it also has a slight rise. Her hand/arm movement is almost as if she is turning a door knob (opposite way) and pushing the door open...

    Bat performance with a chip

    It looks like a paint chip but there is a gouge definitely more than a paint chip. When I said size of a quarter I meant thickness as well. I agree it won't add 125ft to the ball. The girl has a nice swing so maybe everything just came together for her... Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using Tapatalk

    Bat performance with a chip

    There is a girl on my team with a chip in her bat about the size of a quarter, right in the sweet spot. The outter painted layer (shell) is off and you can see the black Barrel exposed. This bat is atleast 4 years old and the girl couldn't hit a ball out of the infield before this chip appeared...

    Radar guns

    I have a Bushnell it reads about 10mph slower than other radars. I have had my DD clocked on a $2000 juggs gun that read her at 55mph -57mph, a pocket radar that had her at 53-55 and a Bushnell that has her at 43-45. I tend to think the Pocket Radar is the best value and probably the closest to...

    Fake Stat published in a reputable website

    I had an experience with this during this past season. My DD was in a battle to bat on Sundays vs the score keepers DD. Every hit she had was a hit and if my DD had anything that was even close to questionable was called an error. The funniest thing of all this is the score keepers DD didn't bat...

    12u problems with high pitch-please help

    Is this the same kid as the first video? It looks like she has fixed some of that form and is on the right track. May I ask why she isn't wearing shoes/cleats in either video? In the first one I notice she has on socks and the second one nothing at all. I my opinion this is a good way to get...

    Sore Losers

    Someone I had talked to said it's because the coach is trying to avoid a call from the head of the organization asking how they could have lost to some team they never heard of. I just find it funny that someone would go out of their way to make it look like they didnt lose. At this point it's...

    Sore Losers

    So we were at a big tournament over the weekend with teams from 5 or so different states. We played a well known team with a reputation of being very elite. Our team is a newer organization, not so well know outside of our general area. So we played a very good game and our pitcher was keeping...

    2019 Actual bat performance talk

    DD just got a 2019 LXT. It is still breaking in. It sounded very different at first and was thinking that Louisville did away with the shattered glass sound. But now that its breaking in that sound is coming. The jury is out on it so far, but she likes the size difference from her old LXT...

    2019 Actual bat performance talk

    I have a 2019 LXT 31/21 arriving tomorrow. I don't think I will have my DD switch bats mid season as she is currently swinging a 30/19. But we may do some tee work just to check it out. Any thoughts on switching bats in the middle of the season. We have 4 weekends straight of tournaments...

    2019 DeMarini pics

    I have seen dealers at Bat Demos only offering new bats for around 289. This 20% off coupon makes it 279. What type of discount do they offer? Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk

    2019 DeMarini pics

    Does anyone know if the 2019 Demarini will be available on Dicks website on release day??? I have a 20% off coupon that expires on 6/4. I was going to buy the Quatro Pro but I would rather have the CF Zen. But I will buy the Rawlings for 70 bucks off over a demarini. Sent from my SM-G950U1...
