    Help with swing and drill recommendation

    Shawn, what does it mean to "set the hands as a rotational point early"? Thanks!

    Help with swing and drill recommendation

    Ken, thanks for this great photo. It's exactly what I have been telling her. She is having a hard time resetting her swing. It's obvious that the "bat lag" as you call it, where the bat is falling behind her, is not correct. Can you recommend a T-drill to fix this issue? I'll try the throwing...

    Yeah, I really get what you said about the hips not rotating fully!

    Help with swing and drill recommendation

    Hey there, I haven't been here in a while, but I am looking for some suggestions to help get my DD's swing going in the right direction. It looks to me like the swing is too long and the bat gets too far behind her. Can anyone suggest some T-drills to keep her from doing this? Thanks

    bunting every PA

    There are so many factors in your situation, and fear is the toughest part of the equation. I would say that it will be hard for her to develop as a hitter while afraid of the ball. If you can get her over that fear, and assuming she likes the sport and wants to play, I would think she will...

    bunting every PA

    Isn't getting on base via walk or a bunt earned? I think having her bunt often is a great way to build her confidence, especially when she is facing a tough pitcher. It doesn't mean you would give up on teaching her to swing the bat, but when my DD is in any kind of slump the bunt is a great...

    Back to work and open stance

    My DD was having trouble with inside pitches. She was taught to swing inside the ball from such an early age she didn't know how to pull inside pitches. When her coach threw inside during front toss she would (in extreme cases) shuffle her feet back and try to get her hands inside it. We just...

    Best Time of Year to Buy a New Demarini

    Have you seen what those -11 CF5's are going for on Ebay? Around 350 used. I can't imagine it's more than just hype.

    Best Time of Year to Buy a New Demarini

    She is a 2nd year 12U player. She has a 30/20 CF6 currently.

    Best Time of Year to Buy a New Demarini

    I need to bump up the DD to a little longer bat. I don't really want to pay $350 for a new CF8 Sprite -11. Those have been on the market for a while haven't they? When does Demarini come out with new models and drop the price of the last year's model?

    Anyone play/coach in the Santa Monica Fastpitch League?

    She plays travel ball now in Oregon, but I don't think there is a travel ball team in the West LA area. Santa Monica Fastpitch looks to be about all I can find.

    Anyone play/coach in the Santa Monica Fastpitch League?

    Where is your daughter playing this season Nicelag? I guess like everyone says; if you want to play elsewhere you have to drive, and driving in SoCal is brutal! I used to live in Westwood, so I know who it works.

    Best way to hit a change-up

    If that's a CU, why is she late on it???

    Anyone play/coach in the Santa Monica Fastpitch League?

    Thanks RT! It might work out for us pretty well if we make the move. I would like her to have top quality instruction, but that can be hit or miss anywhere. 30 miles away in LA can be like 100 miles away in small town. It could take 1.5 hours to drive that far especially if the 405 is involved...

    Anyone play/coach in the Santa Monica Fastpitch League?

    We are considering a move to W. Los Angeles. My daughter is a 12U catcher who loves to play competitive fastpitch. I don't want to drive far, so I am trying to find a good league for her if we make the move. The only league I can find is the Santa Monica Fastpitch League which looks interesting...

    Wilson Shock FX 2.0

    My daughter just stepped up to 12U for fall ball, and I purchased this helmet for her. Before that she was using the Easton Natural. We tried a bunch of helmets and returned them all including the Diamond mask. She love the Wilson! She is small and the weight seemed lighter than the others. The...

    Feedback on catcher's mitts

    Dang, that looks pretty nice and the 33" assuages some of my fears about the larger 34" size. I am curious how the break-in is. Last time we left off Eric, I went with a Easton SYFP2000 mostly because of the 33" size. Well, we aren't that happy with it after half of last season and fall ball...
