Few weeks ago got a 2014 31/21 Xeno for the gurlbots. Had three boxes on the porch yesterday containing a Louisville Slugger Black Frame Pitching Machine, a dozen Worth 11" Dream Seam C11RYLA balls, and a nice Schutt Spiked Home Plate.

Poor DD has to use last year's equipment. No new bats since the 32/22 CF6 Insane and the 2014 -9 32" Xeno from last year. Nokona glove still going strong.

Had her Nokona re-laced. A pair of Oakley's so she would stop borrowing mine.

For me: Another Nokona glove and a custom Vinci. Love the Vinci but so damn tough to break in. The Nokona BM-76 is one nice glove!

Well i guess i can chime in. DD's second real year playing so we really went all in. This year (so far):

Bownet
2 buckets of balls. One bucket in pieces, hit by DD
Cf6 demarini (xeno at the end of last season)
12 TCB balls
2 sets of cleats (DD is 12 but sometimes plays 14u, so metal cleats for those games)
Evo shield elbow guard
$79 tee from Dicks sporting goods (junk)
Tanner tee to fix above mistake
Louisville slugger blue flame pitching machine, mostly for catching pop fly balls
Bat weight
At least 2 pair of batting gloves (that i know of, she loses them)
Power stick/bucket of Bolt balls
Large garden cart to haul all stuff. Cart will never see garden.
New batters helmet.
New catchers helmet
Enough sporting/training clothes to dress a small village
This past week::
Nokona banana tan catchers mitt (she LOVES it)
New UA chest protector
Easton stealth Catchers bag.

Next up nikon dslr camera for me, i mean for DD, you know.....to show her pictures of all her hard work!

Edit: lots of hitting lessons

OMG. Now that I've read this thread, it became clear that I spent a bunch of money.

DDs TB team fold in March so she got in another (better) organization. But with 2 practice uniforms and 4 game uniforms and a helmet and jacket, the team gear was about $450.

Besides the new team uniforms, in the past year?

New Easton FS1, $160 (great price)
Nokona Buckaroo, $275
UA cleats, $60 (they sucked)
2 pr Mizuno cleats with Tuff Toe, $160
2 pr batting gloves, $50
bat/gear bag $75
sand balls, $40?
a couple dozen new balls for pitching practice $150
6 or 8 pair practice socks, $50ish
4 scorebooks $25
2 pair sliding shorts $50ish

pitching lessons and batting lessons

DD's new 2Legit going into the game this weekend (maybe in pool tomorrow). Let's compare notes!

After Pool Play yesterday:

2Legit got into ONE AB and DD hit a slow roller ground ball. She comes off the field and says it feels too end-heavy compared to her CF6 and put it back in the bag.

I have commitment from her that she will bring it back out in the next practice (may be two weeks yet....)

DD has got to find a Worth offering she likes,....she knows it,....but is sooooo attached to the CF's.
