    Player responsibility on grounder to 2nd w/ runner on 2nd - High School

    Thank you. I stand corrected and for understandable reasons.

    Player responsibility on grounder to 2nd w/ runner on 2nd - High School

    Hi folks, our coach is NOT a softball coach. Many of our parents are not fundamentally educated. They don't notice subtleties on plays like this. Posting a YouTube video for you to check out. Simple grounder to 2nd base that's gone wrong. 1st inning - 1 out redacted My eyes see 3rd, left...

    Softball De-Commitments at NCSU?

    Within a week of NC State announcement of the LSU assistant hiring as their new head coach, I've seen a pair of NCSU commits announced "I'm re-opening my recruitment." As a dad trying to learn how some of this works, it's odd. Obviously has to do with the new hire, but I have a hard time...

    How our DDs ended up on college teams

    My point in asking I suppose is that I'm looking to see if there are examples from parents/players of announcing an offer via social media and it changing your DD's recruitment trajectory.

    How our DDs ended up on college teams

    I'm hearing "control" over girls to keep them from having the power and control over their own recruitment process. I'm a dad & recognize situations that wouldn't fly for males that somehow are acceptable when it happens to my girls. I'm hearing this from these parents & it sounds like a...

    How our DDs ended up on college teams

    Read through all of these. 2024 DD (why is it called that instead of daughter?) is starting Junior year. We moved up to an 18U Showcase & 1st tourney interaction with parents, we really learned alot, especially about some of their D2 & D3 visits & subsequent offers. My question about the...

    College bat sizes

    Did Alo actually indicate that or how do you know that's her size? Just saw a slo mo a while back of her Rawlings hit a WCWS homer & was suprised at how much it gave and shuddered at the connection piece when she swung.

    Demarini CF Reviews

    What you describe is exactly what we got to learn first hand. It really was a farce in a sense. We were warned before hand that some camps, the head coach basically gives a rah rah speech at the end and does nothing. Papa was engaged the whole time, but to see if it was with the "special"...

    DH/Flex in Lineup

    I tried to read this thread to understand this rule and all the freaking swapping out of initials for positions loses me each time. It's like reading lyrics from a rap song. P to the D to the izzo my shizzo. Just once I'd like to come on here, read this rule with each player acryonym spelled...

    Demarini CF Reviews

    Man...there is just no way I'm spending $500 on a bat at this point. It's an absurd price for a bat that is guaranteed to break. I mean...across the board, not a single one hasn't broken.

    Demarini CF Reviews

    Man...I obsess over the tech just that my daughter can have confidence that it's her swing mechanics and workouts at the gym that are the difference. Reading stuff like this makes me doubt things. She's had nothing but CF's, starting with CF5's in 29/18 in 8U. At that age, the CF just made 11"...

    Demarini 29, 30 ,31 Drop 11

    My oldest cracked her CF5 on warranty (30/19 -11). She swung CF7s and swore she liked the 31/21, so that's what we went to.. Never should have done it. Drop -10 is just too much for her size. The rubber damper on the CF7 takes a lot of vibration out but in -10, you can tell she swings slower...

    Boombah Tsunami

    Just found out about this bat today. It's the only carbon 2 piece -12 bat I've seen at that low of a price. The Demarini Vendetta -12 is so popular it is never on sale anywhere. Carbon quality from overseas has made huge advances in the past 2 years alone. I'd be willing to put one to the...
