Agreed. Found a good deal on a new 2020 last year and pulled the trigger. DD liked it until she swung a Ghost and saw how the ball jumped off the bat significantly more. CF is now her cage and cold weather bat.
Wouldn't be at all surprised if it's a rematch in the finals again this year. Most of JMHS is back as well. Both teams have great youth programs that seem to continuously restock the high schools. We had 45 girls tryout this year.
PS - the Ghost you sold me is working out really well for my...
@V493 that's a discreet screen name, but I'm guessing we know one another based on the Smash logo! We signed Alison up for the EXACT camp. A little concerned it could be a money grab, but the pricing wasn't that bad IMO so figured it was worth the risk. -Scott G
We pay per "event" with practice counting as one event and each game as well. Have seen organizations pay per season and those coaches sometimes don't feel the incentive to show up all the time.
Attached is one that I plan to use for my 12u team this spring. I forget if I found it online or if a fellow coach passed it along. Good luck and have fun this season!
My 13yr old DD has had that same issue and continues to battle it. A couple of drills her PC has her work on are arm circles against the wall (example - )
and PVC pipe
(ex - ).
This site also has some great resources in the Pitching Forum...paricularly this thread...
Curious if anyone recommends a particular brand weather pod. We were at a tournament a couple of weeks ago and became very envious of some folks who were protected from the elements.
I’ve seen a few comments in general discussions about no matter what bat you choose to stay away from drop 11, but never any reasoning why. Can anyone please explain how much of a difference there is between say a 32/21 and 32/22? Is there less pop? My DD is 13 with a medium build (5’5 125) and...
Not sure if I'm posting these videos correctly, but one is from 2B the other from side. She clearly opens too early and her right shoulder rotates too far pulling her head away from home. Also has a bit of a crow hop and lacks FSR. Any other observations? Any drills recommended to help with...
I like to hold scrimmages with live pitching, but after 4 balls I come in and pitch the rest of the at-bat...keeps things moving and gets meaningful reps for pitcher, hitter, and catcher. We're 12u now, but started this in 10u when we were in last place mid-season. Pitchers improved vastly and...
Seems I worded some of that improperly, but totally get your points. Instead of "forcing the rollover" it should've read "forcing the palm down on follow through"...which is creating bullet spin but slowing down her velocity in the process. Short arming her delivery was more to do with the coach...
