    Socks for wide/large calves

    Yes and they never got….. stiff or hard like many other did after a few washings.

    Socks for wide/large calves

    Our team used these for a while. They were hands down the favorite sock (the other brand used was 3n2). I don’t know if the solid version is exactly the same though...

    Getting from 9 o’clock to 12 o’clock ?

    Look at slo mo of Amanda Scarborough. Monica Abbott, Yukio Uneo, Cat oesterman. I know there are others but that is generally the top of the list of recommendations to look at.

    Bat Recommendation

    my 22 has a 22GA and a 24GA, both 32 -10 GA22 - 22.5oz GA24 - 22.8oz For some reason I remember @CoreSoftball20 saying that the 24 are generally closer to sticker than the 22, my dd just got the exception.

    Natural right-hander who throws lefty?

    I am a natural lefty taught to play righty. I throw a football lefty. I believe there might be some advantages to having the glove be on your dominant hand. I had a funky arm action growing up that used to cause me elbow pain if I threw a lot. Generally if I made a mistake it was throwing...

    First time Ghost Dad

    100%. My DD always uses her bat, regardless of the temp. My issue is the the "how to break in a bat" piece. I see it all over the place, swing easy... of the tee. whatever it is. Yes, I know that after break in, the ball will go further. But if there was some break in process that ensures...

    NAIA ruling on Transgender athletes

    I very clearly stayed, not once, but twice in this thread that I agreed with the ruling. If you follow the conversation I was responding to @Rolling Hard as to why someone would want to to be inclusive. Simple as that. These children,.... no whole families, are going through a lot. When...

    NAIA ruling on Transgender athletes

    Great post. That what I should have said at the very beginning.

    First time Ghost Dad

    I've never seen easton specs on how to break in a bat. Is there a link to that you can share? The 60 degree is for the life of the bat. Balls lose their elasticity as it gets colder, putting more stress on the bat.

    Don’t worry about the BI. Proper posture will get you what you need

    NAIA ruling on Transgender athletes

    Agreed NCAA needs to follow NAIA. I don’t understand how some people don’t recognize biological differences create unfair advantages

    Who catches pitching lessons?

    When my dd was 9, the facility had home plates that have a lip. I took one right in the temple. Ohhhh Mama. It hurt at 40. I can't imagine what 50+ would feel like. I've since gone to a mask and I still need to work on not turning my head.

    Improving consistency

    As has been mentioned this happens at the MLB level. In a typical MLB season, a pitcher will get 33-35 starts. David Cone, who was VERY good, has said he expects 6-7 starts a year where everything is working. At the same time another 6-7 starts with NOTHING is working. The other 20 starts...

    Who catches pitching lessons?

    You’ve got a couple of weeks, start hitting the gym!!!! Are you comfortable with one knee down? I find my shoulder goes before my legs do.

    Who catches pitching lessons?

    PC will and has caught for my dd. But I do it 95% of the time. She spends most of her time next to / behind my dd. Uses video to show dd what she is / is not doing. Starting this past fall she started spending time behind me like an ump.

    Improving consistency

    This happens to MLB pitchers. Maybe not as .... severe, but it still happens. With time, and practice, this will get better. If she is open to it, there are books that can help teens with focus and mental toughness. That will help her get battle through the tough days.

    Pitchers With Less Than Perfect Mechanics

    Watch slow motion video of any of the women we use as models of good mechanics. The stride leg opens the hips a lot, then they start to close, and at release, hips are about 1/2 open, or about 45 degrees. I've never broken out a protractor to measure exactly. I don't know how Denny reached...
