I was thinking about something this morning...
I watched the Auburn/Florida game last evening... and around the 3rd at bat... figured I would rewind the DVR and start charting pitches. Easier to do from the comfort of your couch/living room... granted... but after that game was over, I was...
Dial beat us to our own release! ;)

After nearly 2 years of work, we are now ready to get the ball rolling... and bring the softball world the kick-in-the-butt it has been...
Hey all you DFP rockstars...
I've had a catastrophic technological happening... my cell phone had to have a factory reset... and I lost all of my contacts. Couldn't back them up in time... and I did not have them sync'd to an account online. Furthermore... all of my texts... voicemails...
Hey all you DFP Rockstar's,
Looking to put together a list of questions that you all may have heard, been asked, asked, or wondered about over the years. There are no stupid questions... so please post all that you can think of to help a brother out! ;)

How do I throw a drop?
How do...
After watching a video on fluid dynamics... JJ has me thinking about this. Hypothetically speaking... can you all take a minute and add your thoughts to what you believe would make certification of instructors palatable and effective?
Given all you've learned on this site... and within your...
There's a moral to this tale...
So... about 6 months ago, a DFP member and I started chatting on this marvelous forum. They are from the nosebleed part of NY (it's a heck of a drive for them... and every time they arrive... snow usually follows) - but 3.5 months ago we got together and started...
DD is playing varsity this year as a freshman... but despite her throwing 58-60 mph with good control of her drop, curve, and change-up... the coach is not starting her as a pitcher, because:
1) She's their best catcher
2) She's too fast for anyone on the team to catch (BS line by the coach)...
Was watching a game last evening... and figured the good people at DFP might offer their help to a freshman pitcher for Texas, Erica Wright. She's a talented kid, no doubt... but when watching her pitch... it became quite evident that she has a significant TELL while pitching.
Now, you can...
All,
Lately, there has been a troll that is giving all PITCHING threads posted a rating of 1 star. I've looked through all the other boards, and this is not the case... so it's obviously someone that posts/views this board regularly, and has a serious issue with DFP (to which I question why...
Ladies and Gents,
Just thought I'd let you all know that our great friend, Rick Pauly, has accepted the position of Pitching Coach at the University of Georgia.
Rick is - and has always been - an invaluable resource here at DFP and in the world of softball, in general. The conversations and...
From your DFP family... Congrats Rick! What an honor!
Pauly Named to USA Softball National Team...
Also... congrats on the round 1 win and good luck versus Alabama!!!
Run Better, Pitch Better
The Power Line (The Goal)
Teaching student athletes to run is often one of the most overlooked fundamentals in softball. Every year, I find myself dedicating a good portion of the pre-season working on this fundamental with teams; and every pitcher I work with spends...
When I started this softball journey, I was motivated to give the girls in my area the opportunity to succeed, specifically in competition. My motivation was in spite of those that said they could not and would not. I never lost sight of that - and they overcame those "odds". Regardless of the...
