    Glove help - College outfielder

    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. 1810

    Glove help - College outfielder

    I bought this glove! Quick heel break in, but the pocket takes some time, of course. That leather, though.....

    Coolest outfield sunglasses?

    This is what my dd wears. She thinks they look the opposite of cool, but still feels like she can't play without them.

    Arm out early

    So to be clear, you mean drive out, then the movement resolves in something like a basketball chest pass with two balls?

    Arm out early

    This seems like a good starting point. Thanks.

    Arm out early

    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...

    Arm out early

    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...

    Arm out early

    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...

    Arm out early

    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...

    Arm out early

    No, it's been for a while now....probably a year or more.

    Arm out early

    Thanks for the responses. Here are a few pitches from different angles, though not in slo motion.

    Arm out early

    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...

    Bucket Dad Mitt

    Yep, on the bucket. The heel broke in quickly, especially with TIP. The pocket is getting started...the ball is starting to pop.

    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. https://www.justballgloves.com/product/easton-professional-collection-hybrid-12-75--baseball-glove--pch-l710/34403/

    Vinci Optimus Series JS ?

    Here's one of the 12.5" ready to ship offerings. Dark brown...not a bad looking glove for $139.

    Vinci Optimus Series JS ?

    Is split welting different from dual welting? And what does SMU stand for?

    Vinci Optimus Series JS ?

    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?

    Out of curiosity, what is the criticism of Tincher instruction?

    DD sees Waldron out of St. Charles/Wasco. She's good.
