    Feedback - 1st year 12U

    Thanks Ambrosia. That's the first video I posted before we started her "hitting transformation". Her load is better now, but trying to burn the "inner coil" of her load into muscle memory (front hip turn / front shoulder) along with getting that lower arm from locking out like you see in the...

    Thanks for the advice DFP peeps. Still working on that inner coil, however she's starting to be more consistent with loading and getting her foot down before engaging. Also getting more consistent with getting her hands in. Still has some lag as her bottom arm sometimes locks early (old habits)...

    2020 Easton Ghost

    Got DD's bat in yesterday, thanks Core. Easy transaction, quick shipping. Got it just in time for her team's weekly batting practice (First time ordering from Core, won't be the last). Ball definitely seemed to bounce/rocket off better than her Zen -11. I asked her after practice about it, says...

    efastball, shawn, pattar, djcarter, madbandit - thanks for the feedback and further tips. Been a fun month working with her using the videos (Justin Stone, HiPro, and swing gifs). I think I'm starting to get a better eye for the mechanics too. Lot's of video sessions with her. This past weekend...

    Ya, gonna adjust her mechanics along with reps off the tee. Then grab/post another video off an "age appropriate" cage. They have a softball pitching machine where you can adjust the speed. So when the time comes I'll capture some vid and post her progress. The kid adjusts well with instruction...

    What's dropping the barrel mean? Again, thx for the feedback. Been watching the vids a lot and working on a plan to help her out.

    Look like a lower pitch that would cause that?

    Thanks man. Might help to take video at some slower pitches too. She likes the hot cages (60+) so every now and then I'll let her go in there and swing away. My next vid I'll have it at a pitch speed more 12U level.

    Good stuff, thanks again. I get the jist of it, just have a hard time detecting/eyeing the miscues. I'll start with working on the backend there. Her load sequence, keeping hands a little lower (neck slot), keeping elbows in closer, and inward coil. She's a pretty good student so this should be...

    Thanks for the feedback and the video clips. I think I understand what you're all saying. I have been watching the Justin and JD clips the past few weeks. We'll continue to work on it and get some consistency. Seems like she's "almost there".

    Feedback - 1st year 12U

    Gal's been working hard the past year on her swing (tons of tee and cage time). Had a hard time getting her bat around, still struggles some with sweeping as I call it (or locking early). Coaches have been a big help the past few months. I think this is her best one I have captured. She's...

    Possibly looking for a new glove

    Thanks for the tips/advice! Nice community here. Took her to several places in town and it seems the Liberty Advance and the HoH fit/felt the best. Grabbed the Advance for $150. Now to break it in and let her get after it! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    What closed web style is the trend nowadays? Also, best methods to break in a glove aside from playing catch a million times. Appreciate the feedback on here, it's very helpful!!

    Possibly looking for a new glove

    Thanks for the feedback. I like the idea of the Mizuno (looks like a steal), but I want her to be able try some on before pulling the trigger. Hopefully I can find a local store that has one to try on. Anyone have opinion with the Nokona brand?

    Excellent, thanks for the help here. That Mizuno looks like a good deal. Also saw the 2018 A2000 MA is 30% off too on their website. I'm guessing this means she is growing out of her current glove. lol
