    2022 ghost - lost its “sound”

    My DD 22 ghost hasn’t had many swings on it and it sounds like a bb rolling around inside we just laugh and keep swinging until it breaks

    How to increase speed?

    My DD got faster at pitching by doing sprints while dragging a tire behind her.

    Blast motion vs Diamond Kinetics

    I have the dk just because it is used in conjunction with the win reality system I use it mostly to show the actual swing plane I like how you can move around the image like it’s 3D to see the view from front back side or from above once the win reality system figures out how to get dk swing...

    Last 2 months have been hectic travel ball practice 2days a week playing every weekend high school team has a fall ball schedule practice and games going and coach is pissed because we play travel every weekend and not with HS team.

    Win reality interactive video game

    My overall opinion of this product at this point is. It’s hard to pull the trigger because of the $400 start up fee which is mostly the oculus but I do think it will help DD in pitch recognition and faster ball/strike determination. Which should overall make her a better batter and she doesn’t...

    Win reality interactive video game

    If you call them they can explain the deals I paid 299 for oculus at best buy then 80 for dk sensor and bat attachment bundle then 24/month for win reality

    Win reality interactive video game

    I had a lot of trouble getting the live hitting section to work. So far they don’t have the swing plane inserted into the program. it will tell if you swing early or late but if you swing high on a low pitch on time it shows you hit a line drive. What I do like is DD can get to see pitches even...

    Blast, DK, etc....

    I just got the win reality “game “ which uses the DK sensor right now the only thing I’m working on is being able to see how her form affects the bat path and the DK app is doing that for me I haven’t really paid attention to the other metrics

    Turf shoe and Cleats wearing out too fast in the toe area!

    I use the gorilla glue clear epoxy it’s clear my DD hates it when her cleats have a big glob of tuff toe or shoe goo. When it starts to wear I just smooth on a little more it’s cheap and will out last the plastic on Ringor which I used to put it on the Ringor also.

    When you quit your team mid-season

    We are struggling to stay on a team now head coach quit so we got another head coach to start the summer season the assistant coach is a daddy ball guy. I’m kind of aggravated with him. Because he bullies the coach and the girls. Tell them they are an embarrassment to their parents. So now he...

    12yo Pitching Eval

    I feel the ”monkey butt” forward lean comes from under developed core muscles. A drill that helps is pitch with right knee on the ground left knee towards catcher really stretch hip flexors by tightening the glutes “butt” and see how many pitches she can get in in 30 seconds. Rest and repeat she...

    Obstruction call in LSU - SC game...correct outcome?

    I agreed with the call I believe it should be called that way. but I was watching closely because of the rule saying protected between the bases obstruction occurred. I think the rule should be worded easier to understand When player has opportunity to advance past next base.

    Elbow sprain \ strain

    My DD also has a slight hyper extension at elbow and had a slight tear in UCL. It was caused from over hand throwing flaws. We tried the rest for 6 weeks and it helped initially but problems came back worse. Watch any over hand drills “water bottle drill” fix any over hand flaws. if the problem...

    I teach it’s called “a rundown“ it’s not called a throw back and forth.

    12U pitchers throwing 58-60 mph

    My experience with 60 at 12u was all gas but had no idea where it was going to end up. Just hoping batter would swing at something close. When looking at new pitchers our head coach is known for asking the kid to throw a 1st pitch strike. They can throw any pitch they want as long as it is a...

    DD scared to get hit while batting

    Teach her to bunt tell her no more swinging only bunting. She will let you know when she is ready to hit away again.

    Kentucky vs Alburn

    Something was up that day because I also saw a ball bounce off the top of outfield wall then proceeded up to a safety fence where it bounced back into the field of play that was ruled live ball not home run. Then later another ball hit top of fence but didn’t go over bounced back into field and...
