Wish List

[quincy]

Equipment that we have and actually use:

Batting tee, pitching machine, pitching plate, softball station in the basement, a hitting stick, bases, tennis racket, cones and a bunch of balls.

DD’s OK on her personal equipment, she would like to lose her pink batting helmet but she has to live with it.

On my list to purchase when we have some disposable income in order is:

Total control balls
Jugs Net – These are really nice, went the cheap route and threw away $60 on a piece of junk. Would have been a lot less aggravating if I just gave the money away
Pitching Screen


Does that seem like a good list and order?

Forget the Jugs net and go with the Bow Net. It is a lot better.

I like the Jugs net. Save some money though...check out Craig's List. I got one in awesome shape for $75.
I would add....Some golf ball sized whiffle balls, broom handle cut the length of your DD's bat (30").
It is cheaper than buying the kits pre-made and works just the same.
Skilz Flat mits ($15) to allow her to learn to field with head down, eyes on ball, two hands (where possible), etc...

Agree....the Jugs net is now just a backstop in the hitting shop. Bownet is a great product.

If you have the TCB balls, not sure you need the Jugs net. I have not used mine in the past year since I bought the TCBs.

I also bought our Jugs net used from a local softball junkie... I've definitely gotten my fair use out of it.

BOW net withstands a windy day, JUGS is useless in the wind

A quality hitting instructor is a great add-on.
Gave away my juggs net to a.younger team after I purchased a Bownet.
