    Best team in WI for getting exposure

    I was personally at 16U A Northern Nationals and will verify that I did see a good number of the schools mentioned above at that tournament. The last two years there has been a very good turnout of coaches at 16U Northern Nationals. I will admit though. I was surprised when I walked by the...

    Ringor Pitching Toe Cleats

    YEP!!! Oddly enough it's called the Bandit... :) I am not affiliated with them at by the way. We have used their shoes for years. The new one is synthetic but available with a pitching toe. We have a couple kids with them. They seem to hold up well and they are considerably lighter than the...

    Ringor Pitching Toe Cleats

    They now make the lightweight shoe with a pitching toe. Ringors are very well made shoes in my opinion.

    Bownet look-a-like

    Dicks sporting goods sells a green and black net that is very similar to a Bownet at a reduced price. I know someone that bought one and they were happy with it. Check their website, I think they are on there.

    How is pitcher "effectiveness" best measured?

    What would be a good WHIP and ERA for a 16U travel ball "A" pitcher? I like the Batting average against stat also. It is a good way to judge how well the opposing batters are hitting against your pitcher...

    WWYD: ethics of warranty replacement

    I did this with Demarini. I sent in a 31/20 and asked for a 32/21 in return and they had no issue with it. They have great customer service in my opinion.

    10U Tryouts Around Madison/Beaver Dam WI Area

    I am a 16U Coach in the Bandits organization and I strongly believe we have a great organization. I have been part of the Bandits organization for 5 years and have loved every minute of it. I have some kids on my team in the past from the Fox Valley and I currently have 4 kids from the Madison...

    New Hitting Tee

    I agree on the extra attachment stuff. I watched the video and was thinking they might cause more issues than they resolve. I have a couple Schutt folding tees and have been happy with them. I was really curious as to how the brush part of this is and how sturdy the tee is. I would not buy the...

    Best vision mask/least ugly:)

    My DD and most of my players that wear masks have the Schutt and are really happy with them. Not one of them complains about their vision being impaired. I have one kid that has the Titanium mask. It is virtually the same except for the weight. When DD needs a new one we will spend the money for...

    Assistants

    I agree with most in saying that it's ok to 2-4 assistants as longs as they have very defined roles. With us I have myself (head coach) dealing with the pitcher and catcher and pitch selection. I also coach 3rd base on offense. Then I have one coach in charge of infield positioning and another...

    5 Best Softball Coaches

    I think calling them the 5 best based only off of win loss record and success at the WCWS is tough. If that's the criteria you want to use it's probably true...

    Rip-it mask vs Boombah mask first impressions

    No doubt in my eyes the schutt is the best mask on the market. The titanium version they have is super light. It's pricey but worth it in my opinion!

    TCB ball breaks!

    I actually had 3 of them fail at the end of last summer. They developed small cracks around the holes they use to fill them. I just ordered 6 new ones. I have been very happy with these. I think the 3 that just failed were 3 years old and used A LOT!!!!
