    Lafayette ... any comments on their hitter's mechanics?

    The interesting thing I noted in several of the clips above and especially this one... The batters hands are not touching each other and the knuckles are not lined up in a typical fashion. I presume the intent of this is to generate a stronger point of contact (using more human leverage) as...

    My Tech guys : choking up??

    Interesting... this could have some validity to it. "If" the sweet spot is considered that magical point on the barrel of the bat where the bat resonates the least AND transfers the most energy to the ball, then I would say he was correct. How you hold the bat could effect the resonance of...

    Megan 1-Tee

    Lot of great information guys - thank you as always! Will try to do a little T work this weekend and see how things evolve. Suspect there will not be much changed in her swing but with this new information I might be able to get her to realize a little more power.

    Megan 1-Tee

    :) Guess Megan is not the only one that does this - thanks for the video. Hopefully will have time this weekend to go thru the previous posts information and see where it goes.

    Would be interested is seeing what you would suggest for simplifying the forward press.

    Megan 1-Tee

    I understand what you mean SL. Just kinda her thing at the moment. Not something I would teach to others and likely will work her away from it at some point. Oddly enough, during live pitching she does it, but most times she seems to pause after loading to determine if she wants to take the...

    The Swing I Teach - 32U Dad Swinging

    Your swing looks remarkably like my DD's swing. Will have to get some better video of her than what I just posted in the Megan 1-tee thread. I am going to guess your swing is a little more "linear" than hers but it is hard to tell from her video. Will be interesting to see how this thread goes...

    DD committed to University of Iowa tonight

    Congrats to you and especially to your daughter! Iowa City is only 1 hour away for me so will have to make the trip up there to see your daughter play in a few years. My DD is also a sophomore in HS.

    Megan 1-Tee

    Hey everyone. Little League is back in season and figured I would stop back in and see how everybody is doing here. I see several of you are still here giving out great advice to us occasional weekend warriors :) Anyway, here is a couple of clips of Megan. First video was shacking off the...

    LOL, yes always head first. I am sure it's mentioned somewhere in this thread but her nick name is Skittlez.

    Seems this thread has been helpful to a few of you which is great. Figured I would post something a little more current :cool:

    Megan 1-Tee

    Been a little while since I posted here so I thought I would add a small update. ASA tournaments this spring started out pretty good but Megan ended up with a pretty bad ankle sprain during the first weekend. After the third weekend and things not getting better we ended up going to an...

    Congrats on the good fortune. Sounds like an excellent company to do business with.

    How cold is too cold to play 12U

    I feel for you. We just did a tournament last weekend - the Sunday morning temp at 8:00am was around 32 degrees. Most of the players had hand warmers in their hoodies just to keep their hands warm enough to throw the ball around. Our first game was at 10:30am (14u) and the wind was blowing...

    Fastpitch cleats vs. spikes

    Thanks for the above advice, just picked up a metal set for my DD.

    Dad was a little miffed BUT

    I would say you made the right choice. Your (her) best bet is to use live pitching or T work with actual game balls to "break in" or season the bat. The hitting stick, although designed well, will likely focus the impact on a smaller spot on the bat with more impact force (maybe more than you...

    I am gonna change it

    Congrats on your progress "forward". Give it a little time and I am sure you will see improved results.

    Well, maybe the end cap is not bullet proof but maybe the rest is :-) Eitherway, thanks for sharing a sneek peek inside the mysterious Rocketech.

    Lost all my Pitchers Friday

    Wild Man, your not associated with Davenport North are you?? I am, to a degree, in the same situation. Our 14u feeder team has 2 good pitchers and a good short stop. But, the H.S. Varsity team is short players and only has 1 pitcher (a sophomore). So, there goes my 3 players to play with the...
