    SEC tournament starts today at noon!!!

    Yeah...you probably have a point but I just didn't even see Gaffin as the #2. I'd have to go back and see how much KY saw her last weekend. Injuries have hurt TN in the circle for sure. Good to see these young freshmen stepping up and making huge plays. Sent from my typewriter

    SEC tournament starts today at noon!!!

    It's a single elimination tournament and TN starts Gaffin? Sometimes I wonder if the Weakley's give a rip about the SEC tournament. It seems like they treat it as pool play before the NCAA bracket play. However we will take the win. Sent from my typewriter

    Tips for keeping the iPad going in the heat.

    I'm moving to the Iphone....tired of this happening. Seems the iphone is less sensitive to heat.

    12U Swing help

    I'm just a dad, but maybe I can share a few things that might help, since my daughter has always struggled with bat drag. First let me tell you that there is NO quick fix. We are still working through it 3 years later. The guys on this site are very good at their analysis but translating...

    I cried like a baby Saturday.

    Congrats to your young lady! Question is...did you get the ball? My daughter hit a homer over the fence (175 corners) to center in a 10U tournament and I (1st base coach) forgot to get the ball. I am reminded frequently by her on this.

    The Auburn Thread

    I thought the same thing about her footwork. She actually pitched an ok game even with all that falling around. Sorry to hijack!

    When it all comes together (brag post)

    That's good stuff! Pack up your stuff and move to TN and I will give her a starting role on our 12U travel team. Good catchers are hard to fine. My daughter has yet to have a dominate catcher to pitch to. Just had a friend move back home to Burbank and he was telling me how different...

    Pitching rotation strategy for 10U team

    With 5 pitchers, I think you run a big risk of losing your #1 due to not pitching enough. The only way those girls will get better is to be in that circle. Too many pitchers is equally as bad as not enough. To me the magic number is 3 with the third pitcher having a much larger role at...

    Hitting - Action Shots

    Time for a video analysis

    Maybe I didn't explain what I meant by hands higher. Really just a starting point when she enters the box and is ready. I understand what ya'll or saying and thanks for clarifing. My DD was starting low and going lower. Not necessarilly what the original OP was doing, but something that...

    Time for a video analysis

    I'm just a bucket dad, but have been working on this swing thing for 2 years with my daughter and we have made some huge advancements due to the advice from this forum. One thing I notice about most MLB hitters is that their hands start high around the ear. I made this one adjustment and it...

    Hitting vs Pitching: which is more important to win?

    At the 12U level, I have noticed that the better hitting teams seem to do better. Watched an "A" level team here in Middle TN mop up another "A" level team with a dominate 60 mph pitcher with good hitting. Their pitcher was just average. My vote goes to hitting.

    Getting the swag back

    My DD has struggled at the plate this fall. It's our first time moving up to 12U from 10U. I don't know about ya'll but here in the south, girls must go through a growth spert at age 12. We have faced some 12U teams with girls that average 5'9. Naturally that is pretty intimidating for my...

    Incrediball vs. RIF 10 for 8U

    Our Rec uses the same 11" ball for all 6U-10U. Mostly dream seams unless they get a good deal on something :)

    Change up (Change?)

    My daughter (12U) throws two change-ups(flip & upside down knuckle). We struggle sometimes to find the grove for the flip change in a game so our PC showed us a knuckle change. However it's not thrown like most you see. The pitch is delivered with ball palm up and pushed straight to the...

    Evoshield questions

    LOL!!! It's just a normal tee. The gif repeats about the time the T falls and it looks like it sets itself back up. If I could only patent that.
