    Demarini Warranty - Always a Voucher?

    Hi - I just did this. I sent them the bat, and about a week later I received an email with a tracking number - and received a replacement bat (same model same size) within 3 days. I didn’t read anything about a voucher - did you see something about vouchers on their site? Sent from my iPhone...

    Need suggestions for camera angle for taking video of pitcher please :)

    Um, based upon watching the clip you provided, I would have to say that you are an expert!!! I see! I will experiment with the outfield camera first, and then hike the backstop camera up higher and see if I can replicate what you have done! Thank you so much for sharing!

    Need suggestions for camera angle for taking video of pitcher please :)

    Thank you! I will try it this way during next week's tourneys - don't know why it didn't occur to me that Blue would end up in the shot the way I had things set up, lol!

    Need suggestions for camera angle for taking video of pitcher please :)

    Thank you! I will try that approach as well! Your recruiting video is great, and I have watched it with my daughter several times since last year :) This particular college coach specifically asked her to send him some game footage after each of her weekend tourneys this fall, so I was trying to...

    Need suggestions for camera angle for taking video of pitcher please :)

    A college coach asked my dd to send game footage of her pitching every week. I thought to myself, easy enough . . . So today I took footage of a very good 5 inning outing - only to get home and see that I have 5 perfect innings of the umpires back! https://youtu.be/TOxt0pGCmjA So, for anyone...

    Realistic Image of DD

    I'm an outlier in most aspects of my life, so I guess I'm one in this respect too! :D

    Realistic Image of DD

    that's a good assessment :) I would place myself in your .002% category, but think that is likely true of many pitcher's parents, no? I couldn't imagine watching my DD in the circle without noticing where her mechanics were off with each pitch, or if she didn't have the control that she is...

    Pennsbury Invitational Softball Tournament

    Each year, for the summer tourney, the Pennsbury site has a link to a place to sign up as a pick up player - here is the one from the 2016 tourney this past summer - Pennsbury Invitational Tournament 2015 Pick-up Players I believe the coach contacts you ahead of time if they are interested/in...

    How far does everybody travel for practices with their travel team?

    We are 1hr from team practices, as well as her PC and hitting lessons. Most of our in state tourneys end up being about 30 minutes from our home, while the majority of her teammates have to travel further to get to tourneys, so it all evens out in the end. This is our 3rd year traveling this far...

    Pitching coach and raw talent

    Thanks for the awesome post! I agree with everything you said and being the parent of a "naturally" talented pitcher, I'd add that the need for a good PC becomes even more important once you hit the 12U stage - natural talent allowed my DD to always be the "1" through 10U and 12U - we had to try...

    Advice on Recruiting & Teams (Not another stay or go...I promise)

    Advice on Recruiting & Teams (Not another stay or go...I promise) Faced this same question with my 2019 DD this time last year and I can say that skipping the 2nd year of 14U probably was the best decision we could have made. She played on a team that was 3/4 2019 and the rest 2018 that...

    speed v. accuracy

    Thanks for the great post. I like the sound of this drill - I think it is something my DD can use to challenge herself when she is not working with her dad or her PC. Can you tell me if this is done from a regular (43ft) distance or is it done similar to how you described the wall drill? Sent...

    Recommendations for limited flight balls

    I wish I still had a pic my DD took of my husband when they were using these balls in the garage last winter. He had taken to wearing her batters helmet when she was hitting them b/c she was driving them right back at his head. The picture she took had the Anywhere ball wedged into the cage of...

    Recommendations for limited flight balls

    Thanks, that is a good idea. I don't remember where I heard that you shouldn't be hitting more than a few reps with them, but I think it was in a thread I read on here that suggested that many girls will alter their swing mechanics to make the TCB balls go further We have the Anywhere balls but...

    Recommendations for limited flight balls

    I would like to hear opinions from the DFP community on the best balls to use for backyard batting practice. We have the TCB balls but I understand that they aren't to be used for more than a couple of reps. I know some people like the skilz balls but I am unsure of which ones to buy, or if...
