    Outfielders Get Jipped During Indoor Practices

    What do you guys do for the outfielders during indoor practice season. That would be Winter for everyone in the balmy climates! Just looking for anything that may be different or maybe put a new twist on what I'm doing now. I do take advantage of some of the time to talk about covering...

    DD Getting Told To "Squish The Bug"

    I saw this in an email from Marc and it has great timing in regard to my daughters hitting. "Believe me, I've seen and heard plenty of things in practice facilities over the years that have made me cringe. Some of it is just bad advice (such as get your back elbow up to hitters), while other...

    Is My Method To Start Mitt Break-In Ok

    I just thought of a couple questions: Bretman Could you explain the reasons behind using baseballs and/or a combination of those and a softball for the pocket? starsnuffer How do you use those ball mallets? Do you just put the mitt on a table and hit it? Or do you put the mitt on...

    Is My Method To Start Mitt Break-In Ok

    Hey thanks for the help and advice. I know Bretman knows of what he says. He's done some great work for me on DDs old mitt. BTW I did liberally apply Nokona glove oil to the mitt before wrapping it.

    Is My Method To Start Mitt Break-In Ok

    Check out how I am trying to start the process of breaking in my daughters new catcher's mitt. I have the whiffle ball (12") in the pocket and multiple heavy duty rubber bands. I'm not doing any harm here I hope. ??

    Wheeled Bags With Inside Divider

    I am shopping for a new equipment bag for my DD. She currently has a Mizuno that has a mesh divider inside. It's great for keeping everything inside from falling to the bottom when the bag is hung on the fence. Are there any other makes and models that have this feature? Most web sites do...

    A shocking answer from WORTH Lead Customer Service Rep

    In my opinion they should have answered simply yes/ no and bovine/ swine on your question about the wrap material. I bought a few of those bats when my daughter first started playing (10U). Just beware that bat isn't going to last long at all and I found after putting them on a scale that...

    Ready To Pull The Trigger On A Nokona....or??

    China USA Ok I like how those Mizunos look but man it sure seems expensive for a China made mitt (why are they so much more expensive than the GXS53?). Nokonas are still made in the USA?

    Ready To Pull The Trigger On A Nokona....or??

    Thanks Thanks for the info. I had seen that Mizuno GXS53 online and it was on my "list" but I never found one at a store or sporting goods to handle it. I may swing back that way hearing your thoughts. How tough was the break in period?

    Ready To Pull The Trigger On A Nokona....or??

    I want to get my daughter a solid webbed mitt and the Nokona looks like a very solid piece. Any other gloves I might want to consider before I purchase?

    Great to hear that your recovery is on track. How about a camp in MI for your comeback??!!

    Does a player improve by training or a strong team ????

    Kinda The Same Boat We're in a similar situation with a different "twist". DD has chance to switch to a different, less overall skilled team, with a coach who has shown to be an excellent teacher especially in regard to her specific position. I'm confident that after a season with him she...

    Problem With Rawlings Catcher's Mitt

    Mitt Problems Well she catches ok with it but sometimes she "flubs" the ball and I wonder if that webbing being out of sorts may cause her some problems.

    Problem With Rawlings Catcher's Mitt

    The webbing on my daughter's Rawlings mitt looks funky like it has collapsed. I wonder if this is not a good situation for receiving/fielding? It has the open "H" style web. I wonder if going to a solid webbing would prevent this from happening? Anyone have any suggestions for a 32-33 FP...

    Throwing off the facemask

    At a UM catcher's camp my DD attended this question came up. Their opinion was "old" style take it off "new" style leave it on. I agree and my DD leaves her's on and it seems to not be any problem.

    Multiple Team Tryouts: Parent to Coaches Question

    Not So We have three teams on our "radar" because they all are very close in quality. One issue that may make a #1 over the others is plans for next year. A couple are still to make decisions on where they are going to play. Some are contemplating trips very far away from home = a large...

    Number Of Practices During Week????

    After a few weeks off from SB I think my original post was made in a mindset of being "through the ringer" of week to week to week to week tourneys. In the last few weeks my DD and I have been out doing some casual practice to get ready for tryouts. She seems more relaxed and in to it more...
