    The new one is on the right.

    They do look quite a bit different, but the connections were the same. I'll take some pics later.

    Yes the control panel.

    Anyone here good with motors/electronics? Jugs machine question.

    So our Jugs jr has been broken for a few years, it still works, but only fires at max speed, which according to my ballcoach is 65-63 mph. That speed is fine for travel, but playing HS ball, I need to reduce the speed (and the knob does nothing when turned). I called Jugs and ordered a new...

    Being best player on bad team, or bench player on good team?

    Not directly but I'm going to say yes because he's put us in position for these schools to see her. There's been a few connections made at showcases, a D2 school talked to her, and a top 10 NAIA team was very interested, they even pulled her off the field while she was on base and they had to...

    Being best player on bad team, or bench player on good team?

    I'd be just as happy if she went D3 or NAIA as long as her school is paid for. She's a 4.0 student, so it doesn't need to be athletic money. She's played SS, 2nd and OF. She's actually played quite a bit of SS, but probably 75% of her TB has been at 2nd base. Also FTR, the team I'm...

    Being best player on bad team, or bench player on good team?

    My girl has played on good teams before, her 14u team was a PGF premier team, top 10 in Alliance. Even the team she is on now, plays some good competition once in a while, and her HS team faces a lot of D1 committed pitchers. My girl can definitely hit, but she doesn't have HR power, her game...

    Being best player on bad team, or bench player on good team?

    spoke to a member on the phone yesterday and got some great insight and a new perspective. For those suggesting there's other teams we could pick, you're absolutely right, I guess I left out that I do really respect the coaches of her current team, so if we left, it'd have to be a unique...

    She turns 16 in a couple months, so it's not playing up by too much. I don't see much of a difference between good 16u and 18u teams tbh.

    Being best player on bad team, or bench player on good team?

    she's a small girl 5'3, and has played on some good teams, so 2nd base fit her, but as far as her size, she has a good arm, she understands using arm slots, her arm is definitely not a liability.

    Being best player on bad team, or bench player on good team?

    that's an option, we just have heard such great things about this coach, we wanted to give it a shot and see if she could play a few years for him.

    Being best player on bad team, or bench player on good team?

    Non competitive = we get crushed versus good teams, we lack top pitching and have some girls who probably don't even belong in TB. The team practices aren't pushing my girl enough and even though she did get a lot out of it the past year, not as much now. This team is top because they're good...

    Being best player on bad team, or bench player on good team?

    Yeah, I sort of favor this option as well, and may fall back onto that, there's so many teams, I'm sure she could find a fit. The biggest benefit to this team, is his connections, he gets a lot of players to D1. All his outgoing seniors are going D1. So, even though, I'm not sure she will go...

    Being best player on bad team, or bench player on good team?

    I think it's strictly a pride thing. She sees other girls she knows committing D1, some of them she thinks she's better than(maybe she is). With that said, there's some very good D3 schools on the east coast who have been in contact with her and a couple seem very interested. There's a D3...

    Being best player on bad team, or bench player on good team?

    My daughter is 15, she is currently the starting MIF and leadoff batter for pretty non-competitive 18U team, (as far as southern Cal is concerned at least). She has an invite to join a top 18U team this summer, she'll be competing for 2nd base position, but may spend a good amount of time on...

    It happened...

    My sub-100 pound hard hitting girl broke her brand new Ghost advanced in less than 3 weeks time (cracked on the barrel). We sent it in Saturday and got a shipping email this morning, it's scheduled to arrive next Thursday (will be less than 2 week turnaround time). Not impressed all with the...

    12U pitchers throwing 58-60 mph

    Our team has a girl who's been timed with pocket radar at 58 mph (in game speed). Last year, we had a first year 12U also throwing 58 mph (she's since moved on to a different team, haven't seen her recently). This is one of the top area teams in So Cal, and it's not too unusual to see girls...

    Is your travel team charging dues during the quarantine?

    Our team pays to use a batting facility. The reason for dues at this time, is because they say it will start up soon and they want all finances in order for summer friendlies and tournaments. In other words, they're trying to pull the wool over our eyes.

    Is your travel team charging dues during the quarantine?

    that's a rough deal, best of luck!

    Is your travel team charging dues during the quarantine?

    A buddy messaged me the other day and told me his daughters team is also still charging dues right now and using zoom meetings to justify it. I don't think it's that uncommon around here, but hoping I'm wrong, that's why I posted, I think it's absolutely absurd that teams would be charging dues...
