In the meantime, I bought this for DD. Much cheaper for a fellow lefty..under 2 bills for an A2K isn't bad. It's not the quickest break in, but not bad if you beat it with extreme prejudice. And the ball just wants to stick in the pocket...feels like a great softball glove.

Definitely something I'm wondering about more. I remember someone (Java Source?) commenting on the speed of Sarah Pauly's arm whip from about 11 to 8. This would jibe with your observation about male pitchers...kind of like a "top of the roller coaster" then crashing down in terms of velocity at...
Thank you. I'll take a long look.
Edit: Holy cow! Does this guy have an exceptionally big crow hop or is it just the slo mo? Now I see what @ArmWhip was referring to. There's no hurry to speed the arm to 12, but once he plants it slingshots through. He also gets his arms out pretty early. It...
That's a good question but difficult to answer since I don't really have a control side of the experiment to compare with. She's low 50s as a small 15 year old, so definitely not throwing smoke. I'll say that the few pitches she threw with backswing (after not having used it in ages) seemed a...
Okay, thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a try. At the end of last session we worked on syncing for a couple minutes. She spontaneously introduced her backswing and the timing fell right into place. When I asked if she could time it the same way with how she usually throws, she insisted...
My dd seems to be early with her arm when driving. I've included a Scarborough screen shot, but having compared her to several others on YT, she is generally around 3:00 when others are at 6:00-4:30. She pitches without a backswing. I'm wondering whether this is just an idiosyncrasy or a flaw...
Not a Rawlings, but I picked up this Easton Professional six finger trap for a little over a hundred since I'm lht. Still a great deal for a righty.

It sounds like the softball gloves have a deeper pocket with an opt-out for velcro. Do you know of any reason to believe the softball gloves are inferior to their baseball gloves?
