After 2 seasons of travel ball ,1 winter season of indoor ball, 1 season of high school ball and countless practice sessions my DD 's Ghost cracked .I called Easton and pleaded my case that knowing the bat was 3 weeks out of the warranty date.They listened and decided to cover the cracked bat...
I would have kept her in baseball till she was 14 , when she left baseball @ 12 she was on par with the boys at catching, throwing and hitting. Rec softball wasn't as competitive as the baseball .Wish i would of found this board sooner and Todd( Coresoftball )
i could of saved a few bucks ...
My DD has been using the LA 34 catchers mitt now for 4 yrs . No issues great glove .Before that she was using the Worth Liberty Advanced that also was a great glove still have it as a back up .. I'm thinking that Rawlings bought out Worth about 5-6 years ago or something like that .
Just do a google search 'Travel softball teams near Albany NY' you will find quite a few ,, Miss Shen has a huge complex and a number of travel teams . Also Capital District Fusion has a number of teams .
Watching Korean baseball the umpires are behind the catcher wearing face masks under there umpire masks. I don't see why this could not work for fastpitch softbal. JMO
I would keep using it and when you get closer to the warranty date then i would sent it back . Or send it back sooner if umpires tend to think its a crack .
Had the same issues with my dd's Worth years ago . I just used a hacksaw and cut the side bars out then i put liquid electrical tape over where i cut , never had any issues with umpires .DD said it improved her vision 100% :)
At 13 your now looking for something that will fit and last for years ,my DD has been using the white 34 liberty advanced now for 4 yrs(high school, travel ball and now college) I got it for $109 ,but cant remember which site i bought it from . Hand stall fits her great ! Good luck .
There's always the Cheap way out ,, DD broke our tee and needed one in a hurry, noticed a friend of mine who owns a driveway sealing business across the street and he had some 'orange road cones' made a few adjustments to the cone and its still going strong after 3 years. Our team does get a few...
Sad to see you leave , my kid is off playing college ball also but still like to come in here and see whats new as far as gloves ,bats, etc .. Hope you will still pop in as i along with many enjoy reading your post and pics ,,also i'll miss the pics of the gloves on your cars :)
Can't go wrong with buying a bat from Core ,,2018 is yes an asa bat but also can be used for high school AND college . I too have bought bats from Core and so has many of my DD teammates. Just pm him or text him ,,,Good luck!
I was like a kid in a candy store last year when i found all the pro-motion gear in Red ,took me 3 web sites and a couple of weeks to get all the sizes that i needed for my dd's college team ( players choice on catchers equipment as long as its red ) She used her 5 yr old Blue pro-motion gear...
Had an umpire stop the game once because my dd was in left field using her catchers mitt , he said only Two (he called them trappers were allowed in the field at one time either 1st basemans mitt or catchers mitt ) turns out the girl playing 1 St base had a regular glove so it was ok ,, this...
