    catchers helmets

    Hey, if you think the hockey style masks are made to be repeatedly taken off during a game then more power to you. I believe the helmets should stay on at all times on the field of play and that's what I'm going to teach my DD. If you think my analogy is silly, then that's fine. You are why...

    catchers helmets

    Okay, fine. They were designed to take a beating so............yes they can be removed and tossed.

    catchers helmets

    Would you have posted anything if the 3B was the player that took an elbow to the side of the head and had to leave the game? Miscommunication happens and a player gets hurt.

    catchers helmets

    That's not why they were designed. They were designed to protect the entire head from bat "wrap around" when catching.....nothing more. The mask and cap system does not sufficiently protect the sides and back of the head.

    catcher's mitt

    My dd's personal catcher's mitt is a custom Capire full kip leather. It is a very light mitt. If the finger stalls were mesh you probably would not notice the weight difference. My dd's catcher's mitt given by her school and that she has to use in the field during games is a Louisville...

    catcher's mitt

    The first gloves I remember utilizing mesh was Franklin. They were youth gloves and they were very cheap....because they were cheaply made foreign crap and didn't last very long. Maybe today's mesh on the high-end gloves contain carbon fiber, kevlar or some other material to make the mesh a...

    Is the shell (finger and thumb stalls) on this mitt mesh? If so, NO THANK YOU. I'll take Wilson's SuperSkin over mesh any day.

    USA, USA, USA!!! The ASA rebrand...

    PGF is less than 10 years old. Their model was to take a top-down approach. They took a huge chunk out of the ASA/USA nationals right from the start. They carved out regions, offering Futures, Showcases, Regional and National qualifiers, etc. Next will be rec leagues. Time will tell whether...

    Kennesaw State Softball Coach fired for Sexual Misconduct

    I know. JAD's post only mentioned inappropriate comments by the coach. I wanted to add that it also included inappropriate touching.

    Kennesaw State Softball Coach fired for Sexual Misconduct

    From the article: "Coach Acheson's has (sic) been reported to have made sexual comments towards the players, insinuations the girls were 'servicing' the baseball players, threatening to remove players scholarships for their lack of performance, uncontrollable berating of the coaching staff and...

    USA, USA, USA!!! The ASA rebrand...

    Trust me, they care. The reason USSSA started the USA Elite Select World Fastpitch Championship is directly due to PGF.

    USA, USA, USA!!! The ASA rebrand...

    In SW Ohio, USSSA is basically for glorified rec teams. ASA and PGF rule when it comes to good competition.
