    Rothrock's Grip

    I think the idea that most pitches are bullet spin is a fallacy. There are a lot of drop ball pitchers out there not throwing bullet spin. Perhaps most pitches up in the zone are bullet spin. @Jeffrey sure having perfect backspin is better in a vacuum. But it often comes at a cost. We have...

    POLL- would you pay this?

    That would be a luxury that not all (very few) coaches have. My dd took vocal lessons from a teacher that had the clientele to only take people she wanted to work with. Good for that teacher.

    POLL- would you pay this?

    as a teacher / coach, you'd like to work with someone that wants to improve and does the work to improve. It is much more satisfying to see growth and that your work is paying off for the 'client'. So I'd rather work with a client that is going to do the things to help me help them. So, I am...

    Struggling coach

    Ask for help again. Keep your chin up and continue to bring energy and be positive. Perhaps run some competitions/ competitive drills. And yes this is rec. it is NOT the same as travel . This is where you make the decision on what you and your dd want out of softball.

    POLL- would you pay this?

    I had a very frustrating experience at Challenge U. In the search for my DD pithing coach I learned that I needed to be very specific in what I was looking for in pitching technique. I shared video and spoke about "palm up at 9:00" being the technique I was looking for. The instructor assured...

    Both my brother in laws are in Wyckoff. My dd current pitching coach used to work out of Teals. Took more than a few lessons there.

    POLL- would you pay this?

    NY / NJ border. Bergen County NJ and Westchester NY are both on the expensive side. That cost is usually indoor, but not always. We've done outdoor hitting in the past with me running around shagging to keep the swings going. My dd org has it's own dome. so there are a couple of coaches that...

    POLL- would you pay this?

    I once paid $100 for a 4 person hitting group. I did not go back a 2nd time. I've done $30 for 45 minute 3 /4 person hitting group. Having said that, around here, Prices start at $100 and hour for one on one. Most even higher.

    Spin rate and Velocity

    If it didn't move enough, that is called a hanger that gets hammered. If it breaks too early, it is a roller (David Cone Term) that gets hammered. If it is break late, it is a good pitch. Understanding that according to the article there is no such thing as late break, only when the hitter is...

    Spin rate and Velocity

    That is playing with words to suit his needs like he is in the "Technical Hitting" Forum. The truth is that as a hitter, we will be able to pick up the change in direction in some pitches earlier than other pitches. By his definition, it is late in both cases. But by functional definition of...

    Wilson - Drawstring Closure on Baseball Gloves?

    My DD likes the Wilson Draw String Closure feature on her softball glove (H12). She definitely wants that feature in the next glove. Can the Wilson BB gloves wrist opening be re-laced like the softball gloves without any new holes or mods to the leather? I can't seem to tell from looking at...
