    High five for the HS coach

    Thanks for the information. What percentage of the pitchers are on full scholarship?

    High five for the HS coach

    She is playing HS ball this year. She is a freshman. My point was not that HS ball is a bad thing as in my opinion it is a great thing. It is as some have mentioned a great social experience for the players and my DD is very much looking forward to it. It will be the only time she has ever...

    High five for the HS coach

    I am certain she is not the only kid on the planet to have had these experiences but I defer to your expertise. Since you enjoy it so much I may as well make it a threefer. What is important is the FREE education she will be receiving. And all without ever stepping on a High School softball...

    High five for the HS coach

    I am completely shocked. I had no idea High School ball was that stressful. I guess the games that DD pitched at the Rising Stars and Indy Day in front of College Coaches will pale in comparison. Not to mention the 80+ Division I coaches she pitched in front of at the Allister's National Elite...

    To pursue or not to pursue?

    I hate to disagree with you but your information is 100 percent false as it relates to NCAA softball. The overwhelming percentage of girls who verbal to a particular school will sign their NLI to that school. There are numerous discussion relating to this exact topic so I will not start another...

    To pursue or not to pursue?

    Since you fail to see the value of a verbal commitment please share your recruiting strategy. Do they hold up in court? Absolutely not. Will there be a large numbers of players signing a NLI based upon a previous verbal? Without a doubt. In my opinion Sluggers is correct about what is actually...

    bat weight?

    Here is a link to the current NCAA and ASA bat lists. As you can see the 2005 Rocketech is clearly not banned by the NCAA. Additionally neither the NCAA nor ASA make a distinction between a slow pitch bat and a fastpitch bat. A bat is a bat. https://nfca.org/web_docs/forms/ncaabatlist.pdf...

    What is the best tool for video analysis?

    MandM I really dont have any good advice. I have the same issue but not to the level that it makes the video unusable. I just recorded a test video with only a 60 watt bulb as the lighting source and it was definitely on the verge of too dark to be viewable. I think better/more lighting is the...

    What is the best tool for video analysis?

    Tojo this is a video of my 15 year old DD that I captured recently when she was working on her leg drive. She is 6'0" and 155 lbs. I also utilize 10 second Telestrator by Power Chalk on my IPhone. It is a free app that allows you to slow down and work with short video segments captured on the...

    What is the best tool for video analysis?

    +2 on the Casio Exilim cameras. I would imagine you could utilize the software mentioned above to even further slow and analyze the video.

    The point of diminishing return.

    Starsnuffer, that is certainly food for thought. I completely agree that good 10 years ago is not good enough for today and can see that trend continuing into the future. Female athletes are definitely getting bigger and stronger every year. At what point does perfecting mechanics become nit...

    The point of diminishing return.

    This strikes me as one of the most accurate statements I have read in my years of lurking on this forum. At what point is trying to change my DD's pitching "style" counter productive. It seems to me to see that the best pitchers in the Model Pitchers thread all hit the same basic absolutes ( IR...

    Fixing Fowler

    She told the girls at the Camp in December that she no longer does the rocker motion where the hands separate and her pitching hand and ball swing behind her back for her windup. She now pushes both hand out in front with her hand and ball in the glove until they separate while pointing at the...

    How to use the wrists

    Thank you all for the advice. I must not be describing the problem correctly. Perhaps it is more of a timing issue. On the last Right view pro analysis we had done the problem does not occur at all. It only seems to manifest itself during game situations and hitting off of live pitchers during...

    How to use the wrists

    My DD seems to push her hands through the zone and not release her wrists until extension. This leads to her having what I would call bat lag or pulling the bat along the ball rather than hitting through the ball. She hits quite a few weak balls to the right side of the field due to her hands...
