    Prominence of Concussions in Youth Sports

    Nano sorry to hear about everything you and your dd have gone through but I am so glad she is okay. I hope she continues to improve and has no long lasting side effects.

    Prominence of Concussions in Youth Sports

    If you have a broken arm or leg you wouldn't return to playing till it's healed so why is it so different for concussions. Just because you can't see an x-ray showing the injury doesn't mean there isn't one. I agree that some doctors are a little too cautious but I still would rather err on the...

    Mako dead spot

    At DD's last tournament noticed the MAKO was making a funny sound, checked it for any cracks or excessive flexing at the handle but found nothing. But yesterday doing tee work noticed on outside pitches the bat had a dead sound at the top of the sweet spot right at the fastpitch stamp. I took a...

    In need of a new -8 bat.

    Thanks for the info on the 454 had not heard about that. I've always liked the RT and have tried to get DD to give it a try but she feels like the endload makes her drop the bathead. Found out after varsity game today one of her teamates just got the CF5 34/25 so gonna give that a try in...

    In need of a new -8 bat.

    DD is currently swinging a xeno 34/26 and is looking for a new bat. Have read a lot on here about the new bats, but all of them have mostly been -10. Was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the CF5, the Miken Freak, or the Worth 454 and if so do they seem more balanced or end...

    Daddyball-ism

    Well, heaven forbid if your dd doesn't have an absolutely perfectly level surface to try to win playing time. After all, we know that bias doesn't exist in any other arena she may face in life. HS coaches are perfect, employers are perfect, etc. Maybe you are doing dd a disservice by trying to...

    Daddyball-ism

    You just hit head the nail on the head. DD has always been taught if you want playing time or position you have to earn/take it. Unfortunately sometimes with daddy ball the deck is not allways stacked fairly. I agree 99% of parents do look for the littlest bit of favortism on the part of...

    Daddyball-ism

    I agree that not many softball teams would exist without dads donating their time & energy. Been there ,done that. But when you step on that field the daddy hat must come off or you've just adopted 11 dds!! Spent 2yrs. (12u&14u) dealing w/headcoach daddyball. HC's DD and my DD 2 main pitchers...
