    Sprint into slide on a gym floor.

    How has it worked for your team? Age 14-18. Nearly all have played for 4-12 years, but not all are proficient and graceful sliders on dirt. Improving sliding and the sliding reps is a secondary, with the main goal being 'practice like you play' while working on sprinting speeds. Edit to...

    gamechanger question

    How easy/difficult is it to mine info from gamechanger? For example, if I want to know annual stats for players, but only the times they lead off the inning or with no runners on base, etc...would that be an easy couple of clicks or a tedious time-consuming task to be done pretty much by hand...

    Spent all morning pruning shrubs today...

    with a chainsaw. The landscaping was a little out of hand, and yes, this IS a softball related thread.

    SBF forum is gone?

    It turned to crap a couple of years ago, but now it appears the forums have been removed from the site completely. Feel free to pm me here when you look to sell your bats 'Rain', et al. ;) EDITED: Nevermind. They hid the forums tab in the fine print at the bottom of the home page.

    knob cuff. Legal for play?

    Does a bat pass inspection and is it legal to bat with a tapered knob cuff properly applied? Does it make a difference if it is covered by the grip/wrap? Let's say NFHS and/or ASA. I can't seem to locate convincing language one way or another, though I'm sure it's out there. Thanks.

    Southernmost team in the Con-US.

    Wondering if that was any of you dfp'ers practicing near mile marker #2 of the overseas highway yesterday? My kids are pointing out every single school we see down here.

    When DD's quit softball...

    Life goes on. (Shameless brag alert!) Youngest DD is a 13yo 7th grader who started every game for the 8th grade boys this year, finishing as the second highest scorer on the season. From the mouths of the boys in the area..."she ballin'."

    Baseball mitt to catch fastpitch.

    Do any 'baseball' model catchers mitts have a pocket/size suitable for catching a 12" softball? (some bb gloves are perfect for sb, even more so than baseball) Looking for a higher quality, no-velcro mitt. As far as fp mitts go, the Worth Liberty is on the short list, but that's about all...

    How bad can one look in the deck circle?

    Why is it that I am seeing so many players who look so terrible in the on-deck circle? Many very good hitters simply look like they have never swung a bat or seen a hitting coach, judging by some of the ridiculousness I see in the on deck circle. It seems rampant in travel ball at all levels...

    Wood bat + Endload combo

    The MIZuno is the Whiteout EL and is new in wrapper with new stamp. 33/24 but runs light and feels too balanced to me, but model is 'end load.' The wood LS is 33" with an actual weight of 28.67oz. The sticker is still on the bat, but the bat has about a dozen hits on it with ball scuffs...

    Demarini Phenix + New Stamp!

    The Miz is new in wrapper with the new stamp. The Phenix is a bomb dropper and is legal in most associations not named USSSA, including high school. If you occasionally play USSSA then break out the Mizzy. Use the Phenix the rest of the time--it lives up to it's reputation. Both bats are...

    November progress?

    The end of the fall season was here: http://www.discussfastpitch.com/softball-hitting-technical/11648-last-game-swing-what-work.html After lots of November swinging, working mostly on the top half she is here: 2swing slowmo - YouTube Improving extension was fairly easy. She still wants to...

    Last 'game swing'...what to work on?

    Here is a swing from the last outdoor tournament of the season. What do we work on to get better extension after contact and 'finish the swing'? To me, her hands/wrists seem to sort of collapse after contact. She looks better in dry swings and off of a tee, but looking to improve her live...

    Screwball video

    Does anyone have video or a link to a player throwing a screwball that breaks? Could you share it? I am looking for video showing a break with an arc in the left-to-right trajectory... like a curveball has, not just a straight line from outside to inside on a rhb. This does not have to be...

    Switch hitting story

    When DD turned to the left side at 11yo, I followed the advice of those recommending that she become a 'switched' hitter and not a switch hitter. Two mediocre years later she finally became the top BA on her TB team, hitting in the upper .500's...swinging away. Yesterday we went to the park to...

    Size and velocity.

    Does anyone have a link to a table or some numbers on pitching velocity that does not correspond to age, but instead to physical size? There are bat sizing tables that use both height and weight as parameters. Is there something similar for pitching velocities that would be more accurate than...

    Early hot stove topic: pitching space constraints.

    For those with experience practicing in and dealing with limited space... Hitters do it, but what about pitchers getting their sessions in a 2-car garage for example. What are your thoughts on practicing indoors at shorter than regulation distance for a significant percentage of your winter...
