Glove for 3B/2B, under $100
I should clarify - sub-100$ fielding gloves - mainly the fortus line for fielders won't hold up long at that level of play, they are designed for more of a youth market, don't get a lot of hand protection from them. One might work for a backup outfield glove, but I wouldnt put one at 3b- the...- Drakemir

Glove for 3B/2B, under $100
I would not recommend the sub 100$ Vinci gloves for high school ball, they are really not designed for that for that level of play.- Drakemir

Vinci JCV-VM for 10u
The VM would REALLY have to be broken in to be used at 10yo or even moving up to 12yo - if it is not broken in correctly with a good pocket she will not have the hand strength on that glove to keep the ball in the the pocket consistentl. With that being said, it has the best hand protection on...- Drakemir

Vinci Youth Catcher Mitt
Late to the party on this , but the fortus is a ton of glove for that age (even though thats the target market) - it needs to be broken in properly to get good use out of it - however, she is going to get about 3-4 years out of it. Work the pocket, once that is in it will be much easier to use.- Drakemir

Looking for another set of eyes - 16u Swing Analysis

We will see a tale of two swings over the weekend, the video has her at bats in order from Friday...- Drakemir

Looking for another set of eyes - 16u Swing Analysis
Thanks for the feedback all, now, I have been reading this forum for far too long, and I swear the first time I have heard "hinge" is this week (after being out of the loop for a few months) I understand it, just find it funny that I don't recall seeing the term before ;) will work on some...- Drakemir

7U baseball tourney experience
I try :) It's sort of crazy - I hope you have a better experience than my son, who after his last season decided to never play again. In our area league is determined by skill, and not age as much - well, we kept him down at the "AAA" level so he would get more play time with a coach that he...- Drakemir

Looking for another set of eyes - 16u Swing Analysis
Well, the last time I posted in this particular forum was almost 6 years ago and my DD has come a long way in that time - however, in the last season, and so far in our limited play this season her power has disappeared. I tend to get laser focused on a single aspect of the swing and have yet to...- Drakemir

7U baseball tourney experience
Far worse for the most part, lots of dad's living out their failed big league bid through their kids T-ball games. I found in my area baseball is so much more political than softball also - "We are going to redraft teams this year to make sure teams are balanced" - but still one entire travel...- Drakemir
