    Your Favorite Tee Drill

    I agree with PEPPERS. I like to use the T to focus on where to hit specific pitches and to work on eliminating holes in the swing. For example , letting an outside pitch get deep, and driving it to right field. I really like the high T also. I plan on incorporating the face the fire drill.

    Nothings ever good enough approach...

    My daughter also plays TB.We drive 30 miles twice a week just to attend practices. Our games are even furter away on weekends. Two days before her rec league no hitter she pitched for her travel team in game 3 of a long sunday afternoon. She looked fantastic. Than came inning number 6.Up by...

    Nothings ever good enough approach...

    In a rec league game which was a battle between two undefeated teams my 10yo daughter threw a complete game no-hitter.Here are her stats - 6 IP, 0 HITS, 18 K'S, 4 BB, 0 RUNS. I did expect for her to do very well but this was her best performance by far.She is a gamer.Anyway, after the game her...

    Sometimes I wonder what's the point?

    My 3 girls ( 12,10,8 ) and I take fitness very serious. I hold them to a standard that I hold myself to. Although they are not push up pro's, they have built themselves from the ground up. My favorite excercise we call " PICK A MOUNTAIN" . We live in a valley so its easy. They vote on a...

    Need a Little Help

    I use a hanging 100 lb heavy puching bag drill in my garage . Youtube epstein punching bag drill . I have my girls focus on less hands...more legs,hips and core and palm up palm down at contact.

    2012 Demarini CF5

    What is amazing to me is last night a local 14u travel ball coach was talking about bats with a parent who I could tell had no clue. They were admiring my daughters CF5. I told them how she really liked the bat but that I had concerns because of possible durability issues with the CF5. I pulled...

    Getting a good jump off base

    Im definitely going to try that.

    I will never complain about TB costs again.

    I better start saving up. Im curious how many division 1 softball players came from middle class families? If you're not showcased...it sounds like you have very little chance.

    I will never complain about TB costs again.

    Im certainly glad you guys know everything about baseball too. My little brother did throw 95 mph as a jr. in highschool. He averaged anywhere from 20 to 30 radar guns behind the plate as a senior on every apearance. It was a circus. He is currently beginning his second full season in double "A"...

    I will never complain about TB costs again.

    If you throw 95 mph as a junior in highschool...everything comes to you. If you gotta pay 25k to join a tb team... I just dont know. I would be interested in seeing how many kids they have sent to the bigs in the first round.

    A dirty, rotten trick play.

    Im curious...Do plays like this ever occur at the highest levels under the most competitive circumstances? It doesnt seem like a good idea but this threads title was a dirty rotten trick play. I think the benefit to me by reading this was to know that its possible.I would never do this and never...

    7-8 Year Old Division

    This is exactly how we ran our league 2 years ago. We played ASA and it was considered to be competitive. My daughter is a pitcher and I really liked this format. By the end of the season there were some 8yo pitchers who hardly walked anybody(very few though).At the seasons end we selected an...

    Easton synge

    redhotcoach...thanx! The thought crossed my mind. Its good for people to know. We take so much garage BP that i feel our bats get broken in quick. 500 hits come fast. I just remind the girls to turn the bat every 10 or so hits.

    Oh yeah...what is a softball mallet?

    Easton synge

    Wow!!! Its neat to see my old thread. After 1 rec season and 1 TB season we were still very pleased with the synge. My tiny 10 year old softball player is still barely 4 ft and 85 lbs. I believe her bat still has pop even though it looks thrashed. My 12 year old swings a CF5 this year and there...
