    Inside of new glove pulling out?

    I can see into the glove well enough, and it looks like the leather is pulled back creating a pretty big ridge. Looks like it needs to be flattened out. I wonder if tightening one of the ties outside of the glove could pull it in the right direction though.

    Inside of new glove pulling out?

    It was new but purchased from someone off the board. I didn't think about warranty but wouldn't hurt to contact them and see. Rawlings might have suggestion on how to fix if nothing else.

    Inside of new glove pulling out?

    I'm not sure where to post this or the best way to describe it, but one of the fingers in her glove has a big ridge that has developed. It makes it difficult for her to get the glove on and bothers her when she uses it. The best comparison I can think of is it seems similar to work gloves I've...

    NAIA ruling on Transgender athletes

    I might be out of date, but I didn't think this was the Olympic policy. I thought it based on hormone levels for a few years, did it change?

    Using resistance bands as part of warm up routine?

    Thanks, the examples above were what I was looking for. I was finding more workouts originally not warm ups. Used the one that Ken linked above yesterday and she liked it. It was much more useful than the wrist flips ect.. that the rest of the team has been doing that she was trying to follow...

    Using resistance bands as part of warm up routine?

    Thanks, I found and downloaded free Dynamic Warm Up from HLT but missed a few of the links included it looks like. No bands are used from what I can see so far which is surprising since they include one with their weighted ball set. Mostly legs and similar to what she does. I looked up Jaeger...

    Using resistance bands as part of warm up routine?

    I see baseball players/pitchers use bands often as part of their warm up, but haven't seen many softball players do the same. Could be just where we live and wanted to see if what warm up routine others use and if they use bands as part of it. My daughter seems to take a long time to warm up and...

    D3 pitching speed

    Checked their stats from last year and she pitched 260 out of 280 innings for the team. Pitched 16 innings in a DH with one going into extras. You weren't joking about running her into the ground. Maybe she'd throw harder if they'd give her a day off once in a while.

    Spin rate and Velocity

    I haven't read the article yet but will, I always thought that the ball breaks the same amount over the same time periods but as the pitch slows down as it gets closer to the plate, during the same time interval the ball travels less distance but breaks the same amount giving the appearance of...

    Spin rate and Velocity

    I've been wondering about this lately also, my DD picked up a few mph recently but also lost her drop about the same time. We think the increase was due to a small mechanical change. I noticed that her spin orientation wasn't as consistent after, but even when it appeared to be correct it didn't...

    This pitching motion legal?

    Every pitch came from the same arm angle.

    This pitching motion legal?

    She didn't throw very hard but was having success. Several were pulling off the ball and hitting off the end of the bat with some missing altogether. As you'd expect, none of them have probably batted against a side arm pitcher before.
