Or thats at least what he read on discuss fastpitch.
My dd throws 20 oz basketballs full court in basketball practice without dying. Pretty sure a "weighted " 3-4 oz heavier softball isn't going to harm her with proper warm up and mechanics. Like I previously said, there wasn't any science behind the official weight of a softball.
No weighted ball believers, do you believe that a 70 lb 11 year old can safely throw the same 7 oz softball as a 170 lb 18 year old, but the 170 lb 18 year old can not safely throw a 10 oz softball?
College coaches..... I was talking to one last month about throwing mechanics, his only comment about it was "Unless they are doing something really strange, I don't even do anything with it. To be honest I don't really know much about throwing and teaching it, I just recruit girls that are already have good throws."
