    Thanks a lot

    I just gotta thank the few of you who have badgered & hounded Howard (hitter) to the point he decided to quit posting here. Howard has been a ton of help to my daughter & our softball organization by giving selflessly of his time & knowledge. I realize there has to be room for differing...

    your thoughts on a rundown

    I would like your thoughts on always trying to make the rundown happen at the lowest possible base. my feelings are that if , for instance, a pitcher catches a runner off base during a play, that she should force the runner back tward the lesser base, and try to make a 1 throw putout. However...

    windmill bowling- bowling windmill

    Funny story. I had DD at the bowling alley yesterday for a birthday party & she was throwing a backup ball, so trying to speak her vocabulary, I told her that she was releasing the bowling ball like she does her screwball, & she needed to move her hand around the ball the other way...

    OK, someone show mw where I am wrong in my thinking.I have been told that a 5 frames per sec (30 fps video) swing is a good swing, so I just decided to break down the numbers for myself & see what I come up with, & I come up with a little over 8 frames per sec to get the job done. here is the...

    computer question

    I have saved several web pages in a folder with elite pitchers & batters videos in my computer for video analysis. Is there any way to save these videos directly to the computer so I can use the laptop in the field where no internet is available??? Thanks

    pitching to a lefty

    If you were calling pitches to an extremely high speed lefty who is a very good drag bunter, but who is only mediocre as a slapper or power hitter, how would you pitch to her. assume the pitcher can locate fastball & changeup well, & is not throwing movement pitches well yet.

    new High speed camera review

    I recieved my new Casio ex-fh20 on monday of this week & have had a little time to play with it. This camera is really a lot of fun to play with. The 40 shot/sec still photos are only of marginal value to me right now for indoor analysis, but the function seems to work well & I am sure will be...

    genetics

    I was reading the pitching thread about the Shamrock 14u pitcher, & several of you seemed to think she iss just 1 in a million geneticly, & it made me think of a comment a hitting instructor made at a clinic I was at last weekend. He was a d1 coach (Todd Randall I think), & his first statement...

    practice bat drag- before / after

    OK, we have been working hard on her swing for a while now, specificlly on getting in an athletic position , & starting better hip rotation to fix bad bat drag & poor barrell path. today I feel she FINALLY had a breakthrough. The cue seemed to be to tell her to keep elbow separation the same...
