    How to ask “Do you teach Hello Elbow”?

    Gags My DDs first year pitching was filled with clinics of coaches, friends, daughters, and anyone else willing to teach how to pitch. All were wrong or partially wrong. We wasted a year and were no closer to pitching properly. I quit asking who taught what and learned what was correct and...

    Polarized Sunglasses

    Probably not a bad idea! I've whacked my glasses with an Oz weight jig and although they didn't break, it was scary. With helmets and protective gear, one should get away with it. But, the polycarbonate lenses are pretty good nowadays! So yes, kids, wear plastic. Although I agree, it's not...

    Polarized Sunglasses

    Hi Brian My DD has polarized transitional prescription sunglasses. I have worn polarized glasses since a teen for competitive fishing and other activities, so I feel I can share some hard learned lessons. Polarized glasses are a great idea for keeping glare of lights out of DDs eyes. What you...

    Pitching lessons with Rick Pauly

    Thanks for bumping it. First time viewing, it doesn't disappoint! DD will try the K style drill, it differs from hers. The posted K drill has less movement and appears more refined, thus more controllable and isolates the arm. We use the drill to loosen the arm and feel whip, so we can...

    It is called a mound

    Ah yes, the ol' pitching rubber in the circle name game! Hmmmmmm Pitcher's Circle sounds better, for sure. SS

    11" vs 12" speed difference

    Great question! We made the switch for this year and the biggest problem was the size of DD's hands. She grew this year but at the time was 2" shorter and she still has rather small hands. Her fingers are slender but not long. Mom's fingers are fairly long but my fingers can barely pick a...

    Pitching coach, Ken Krause, my first complaint!

    And yes, Ken does a fantastic job! I'm a paying customer, not a paid ad. Lol. We left an HE coach when I found Ken on this site! I'd recommend him to any mom/dad to have their daughter learn IR pitching. Ken is a patient man, unlike many parents and coaches. Certainly more than I am. Thank...

    Pitching coach, Ken Krause, my first complaint!

    Trust me, I've learned my lesson now. I'm proud, not stupid :) I now have catching gear on my legs and will start to wear the mask. In Spring, a fastball landed early and bounced over my lowered glove to strike me in the head. Lol. Wasn't funny at the time. I stood up and had a slight...

    Pitching coach, Ken Krause, my first complaint!

    Lol, Matt. Yes, you are feeling the pain Ouch Cannonball! Took a shot to the shoulder recently also. Luckily it was a change-up Coach Ken, thank you for the kind words! DD is working hard at her pitching game. I think she will grow into a fine pitcher. And, oh so true, older and slower...

    Pitching coach, Ken Krause, my first complaint!

    Hi Forum, first post! And my first complaint about my DD's pitching coach, Ken Krause. I know he posts here and I hope he sees this! It's because of Ken that my daughter (12U) hurls 10mph faster than 11 months ago when we started working with him. She's been pitching a total of almost two...
