    What Shakira can teach you about generating speed

    My pitching learning curve is populated by points that i have marked as things I see as being important but am not sure why. First among this has been the hips. Long ago, when the drive mechanics thread was pretty new, I asked Java about the hip snap I see in powerful pitchers. he answered it...

    Sticker shock

    The fee schedule for our org came out recently and the monthly dues for HS age players is now $300 a month. For younger players it is $225 a month. During the HS season we are still being asked to pay $160/month even thought the girls can't play or practice with their team. This seems...

    Shameless? I will take it to new heights...or depths

    DD just outpitched a D1 pitcher in the European Junior Softball championships en route to a one hit shutout, run rule win. She just turned 14. The kid has friggin ice water in her veins, she has 10 inch long fangs and treats batters like she is a great white and they are pup seals...just...

    Interesting investigative story on IOC from Real Sports on HBO

    I think this is a must see for any sports fan. look it up on HBOGO if you have it. Real Sports has become one of my favorite shows. Gonna be hard to watch these games or any in the future.

    Monday brag 6-27

    My brag is that I got Rocketech1 to drink beer at a public park in Irvine that is adjacent to city hall and the police station. For those of you that know Irvine, I am pretty sure drinking in public results in death by lethal injection with no trial. I was hoping our DDs would pitch against...

    pitching uphill?

    Anyone ever try it? I had a stroke of genius that by pitching uphill it might help her with some posture improvements and lo and behold she dropped a good 3-5 mph so then I had the Wiley Coyote Supra genius idea that by having her practice on a slight incline it will make her pitching on flat...

    Where to start recruiting process?

    I'll admit that I have no desire to wade into the recruiting process just yet but I figure now is a good time to get my bearings and develop a rough plan for the next year. I started to look on the web but figured asking our senior folks about where to start might be more efficient. DD will be...

    When did you pitching DD start pitching exclusively?

    I know this doesn't apply to everyone, but I can see the writing on the wall that DDs pitching skills are far superior to all of her other softball skills so I am pretty sure that on next year's team she will be exclusively a pitcher in tourneys. That will be 2nd year 14s, I am just curious...

    Florida has 5 teams in top 25-California has 2

    surely this is a sign that the apocalypse has officially begun.

    Facing the best

    DD got the start against a team that is widely considered the best 14U team in the nation at a tournament yesterday in the second bracket game. We lost the game 5-0 but we held them to the lowest run total they had in the tournament (they went on to win it all of course) and in looking at their...

    who says there is no million dollar contract at the end of the fastpitch rainbow?

    Sure it is spread out a little and has a base pay of only $20k... Softball pitcher Monica Abbott signs biggest contract in U.S. women's team sports history | Athletics | Sporting News

    Add another guru to the list-Don Sarno

    Since Rich Balswick is 450 miles to the north and I am plum out of things to teach the kid, I asked around and was directed to Don Sarno down here in SoCal. I had heard of him but since he is not a big internet guy, there were no videos or anything else to get a look at what he taught so we got...

    ASA rule about release having to be forward of midline of body?

    I told a newbie that this rule didn't exist but lo and behold it does. So does this mean every pitch my DD throws is illegal because she releases off the rear hip?

    Hijacked Thursday Check in 3/17

    WM is tied up in my basement- we are back to Vegas for the lil one this weekend. I was sorely disappointed last weekend that no DFPers were out there last week that I know of. Last weekend was a blast. I was hoarse from the loud cheering (we lost the Gold bracket consolation championship in...

    other DFP DDs making a name for themselves

    while we eagerly awaited a certain girl's debut as a Gamecock another DFP DD did some damage for Texas Tech after being underused by the Ducks (IMO). Congrats Slingnit ! must be fun to see her get much more circle time and use it so well.

    St Paddy's day blast- Las Vegas- whos going?

    I see at least a couple of teams on the lists that I know have DFP dds on them. who's going? and how late can you stay out? LA familia de JJ will be there for the 12u and then the 14u weekends. It is a great tournament, you get teams from throughout the west, including Texas, so for a lot of...

    Where are they now?

    A lot of folks have popped in, posted a clip or two and then we never see the kids again. I am really curious about how these DFP influenced kids are doing 1-2-3-4 years after discovering the site. Please post some before and after clips.

    a riddle

    what do you call a girl that hits her first OTF HR in a game where she also strikes out 8 and then hits her second OTF HR the next game? I called her my daughter. SPB. (shameless parent brag) It was on a HS varsity field too so they were legit Fence distances.

    Mary Nutter Classic...who's going?

    Who's going and when? I'm eyeballing going both Saturdays if the girls aren't in tourneys.
