    Lack of game speed

    My DD is a senior this year. Her speed is very good in the gym pitching off a mat with a rubber. She can hit 61 regularly. Once in the dirt the speed just tails off to around 56. Very good at hitting her spots and seems to be very effective still but would like to see that speed. Any ideas?

    Composite Break-In

    Dd got a Easton Synge for Christmas. I was wondering how long it took for the break-in period. I know there is bat rolling services but was looking into just normal practice. We hit a couple times per week in the off season with regular balls soft toss.

    Ball Spin

    My DD is 10U and has excellent speed and location for her age. The problem is the spin of her ball. Her instructor says she needs more 6/12 rotation on the ball. Her rotation seems to be more 10/4. We have tried everything and can't seem to fix it.
