    Wasserman High Level Throwing

    I bought the E book a few years ago and pretty much implemented as my throwing bible. Actually got to take DD to a full day camp with Wasserman last year.. I highly suggest both..

    Leather Softball

    +1 On the Sterling... Over the years we have tried just about any and every brand out there. DD is a pitcher and prefers the "tackiness" of the Sterling cover.

    DD wants her swing analyzed

    My DD wants her swing looked at and suggestions made for improvement. However she doesn't want me to post videos publicly. She regularly reads these forums and doesn't want the shaming and bashing that others have gotten. She has given me permission to send her videos privately by email or text...

    Jerrad Hardin camps?

    DD has worked with Coach Hardin a few times. He is a stand up guy and very knowledgeable​. You will not be disappointed..

    UIL rules

    I remembered seeing a post on here a while back discussing a similar topic but I don't remember what states they were talking about. My initial question was in regards to Texas but I would like to hear what other states policies are. We travel quite a bit and you never know what situation you'll...

    UIL rules

    I have some friends that play ball in Texas. Their DD just started highschool ball. The tourney team that she played on during the fall are mostly 8th graders and still able to play together. The tourney team coach is trying to convince the parents that she can play both. Can anyone direct me to...

    12U vs. 14U?

    By chance, have you asked her which direction she would like to go? I have made alot of decisions for my DD regarding her softball career and more than a few have gone horribly wrong. I know its not always the parental thing to do but consider her opinion in the matter as well. Include her in...

    Illegal pitching, acceptable !?!

    ]One of the problems with illegal pitching is it takes someone like Kelly Barnhill for coaches to get upset about it. If she was throwing 60 MPH no one would care if she crow hops. My thoughts exactly... Nobody complains about a pitcher pitching illegally when she is getting shelled. It's only...

    Did you know.. USA Softball is playing NPF teams and streaming them online

    I actually attended one of these double header games last weekend. The crowds were extremely thin for both games. Their were maybe 75-100 people in the stands.

    Pitcher Parents - If you could do it all over again...?

    If I had it to do all over again I would have tried to be a better cheerleader. I would have let DD own her failures instead of trying to protect her from them. I would have let DD be her own person as opposed to always comparing her to pitcher A-Z on other teams. I would have been more...

    2016 Miken Freak Black vs 2015 Louisville LXT

    DD has both bats in her bag. She hit very well with her FB for the majority of Fall season. I bought her a 2015 LXT the last part of October because I found it really cheap. The FB hasn't seen the light of day since. There isn't a noticeable difference in her hitting but she thinks its really...

    Another HE Confrontation and Interesting Result

    I've had to go through alot of the same struggles. Fortunately YouTube has a ton of slow motion videos of elite pitchers. It works really well when pleading your case to all knowing ,self validating,peddlers of crap. PS: Bill, if you do make that shirt, put me down for the first case..

    Let's discuss kneesavers...

    That about sums it up..

    Let's discuss kneesavers...

    I'm not sure the knee savers actually make a catcher lazy. I think a lazy catcher uses them as a crutch. I don't particularly care for them and most active and athletic catchers that Ive seen don't even bother using them.

    winning vs teaching

    Pretty sound advice so far. Teach fundamentals as early as possible. If the parents don't like the fact that the first baseman sailed the ball 10 feet over the catchers head or the catcher couldn't catch a cold if she tried. Politely remind them that the learning process is greatly sped up if...

    How about those Not So Good Weekends?

    Well, lets see.. Traveled over 500 miles round trip spent 2 nights in a hotel I'm sure I seen on an episode of cops, spent somewhere north of $600 for the weekend, came home a day earlier than expected, got called to go to work on my day off and oh yeah got a speeding ticket.. DD played great...
