    A10 Champs!

    DD helped bring the title back to the Bronx! Some timely clutch hitting along the way helped her get voted to the all-tournament team - I couldn't be more proud! Next stop, Stillwater regional!

    How long should I expect leg guards to last?

    DD is a high school senior who plays year round. She destroys leg guards. We've had one set each of Louisville, Mizuno, Wilson, and multiple sets of Rawlings (bought for a ridiculous clearance price of $12/set,) and none of them have lasted more than a year before one of the knees are cracked...

    Louisville LXT mitts/gloves?

    Does anyone have any feedback using these? After three + seasons, DD's All Star CMW3000 is giving up the ghost, and the current team is requiring Wilson/Louisville leather. The LXT catcher's mitt is made with steerhide and is very similar to the All Star in design/web. Any feedback is...

    Bat grip thickness - '14 Xeno

    Does anybody here know what the thickness is on a Xeno factory grip? DD's bat grip is starting to wear through and we need to replace it.

    Leg guards

    So DD's Samurais are literally falling apart - time to get some new leg guards. She's thirteen and in the midst of a growth spurt - 5'4" now, projected to get to 5'10" (the pediatrician was dead on in height projections for my two older sons.) The budget is a little tight right now, so I'm...

    Single hinge vs. dual hinge mitts?

    What are the advantages and disadvantages of each type of catcher's mitt? DD currently using a dual hinge A1000, but it seems the majority of catchers I see are using single hinge models.

    Best utility glove - size, brand & model?

    12U DD needs a new fielder's glove - she's currently using her older brother's old 11.75" Rawlings Gold Glove, which she loves, but it's floppy and the crusty finger stalls are huge due to bro's sausage fingers. I think it's time to consider an upgrade. Her primary position is catcher, but...

    Miken Triad 3 bats

    Anybody have any experience with these? My DD has outgrown her Xeno and didn't really like her teammates' CF5 or Power Brigade bats she's tried.

    Where to go for team sales on a budget?

    I've recently been asked to help coach my daughter's 12U all-star team, with the first tournament thirty days from now. Since we're running solely on fundraising, we have a limited budget. At bare minimum, we would like to get the kids some white alternate jerseys for afternoon games and team...

    Get a bike!

    I hear a lot of parents lamenting the lack of speed and endurance their kids have. The one constant trait that I see with kids who have good speed and burst is that they all ride bikes. Anybody else notice this?

    New bat for 10U player advice?

    My daughter is a nine-year-old playing 10U travel ball, currently swinging the lowest budget 29/18 Louisville. Our team is made up of mainly 2001 kids playing 2000 squads, and she's hitting the ten year olds pretty well, with most balls either going up the middle or to the left side of the...
