    Balls!

    Dudley, Worth, and Sterling make great game balls. Diamond and McGregor are good for practice.

    Wilson gear on sale...

    Yup. I agree with Excel2002. My dd is 5'6" and wears the 16" chest and 16" leg protectors.

    Wilson gear on sale...

    It will be interesting to see what Wilson/LS/Demarini does for catchers gear. It appears they are trying to rid themselves of all ProMotion inventory which tells me they have a plan for 2017. If Wilson stops producing catcher's gear, I would hope they are smart enough to realize the current LS...

    Ever heard of a team forfeiting a game because a call didn't go there way

    From the 2008 USSSA Fastpitch Rule book: CHARGED CONFERENCE A. Defense - Each team when on defense, may be granted not more than three charged conferences without penalty during a seven-inning game to permit coaches or their representatives from the bench to confer with a defensive player or...

    The problem with ESPN softball

    Sorry Bill, I didn't mean to suggest you did not know what english meant. I could tell you didn't like the term. I was just pointing out that at least Michelle was not using the term incorrectly. I am on your side. I think the Olympics should have both Men's and Women's Softball. Only one...

    The problem with ESPN softball

    Bill, I understand some of your frustrations. It is hard to listen to the commentators when one has more than "entry level" knowledge. Remember how stupid Curt Schilling made himself sound so the women commentators could answer the stupid questions he posed? I just turn off the sound and if...

    Catcher pants

    It's probably not the pants, it's a combination of things. Shirt too short, pants too loose, fabric of jersey, shape of body....etc. You could try to sew in a strip of waistband grip tape to the interior of the waistband. Fabric stores would sell the waistband grip tape.

    College Athletes Changing Schools Mid Career...

    From NCAA.org for an athlete that signed an NLI and has completed one full year at the 4 year college: In most cases, you may not compete for one year after transferring from a four-year college to another four-year college. This year is an opportunity to adjust to your new school and focus on...

    Don't forget to grab a slice of pie from Three Brothers From Italy and frozen custard from Kohr's!

    Catcher positioning

    Not true. The rule above is very clear in this matter.

    Throwing the mask off

    Exactly right. It's a personal preference and nothing more. I have no problem teaching to keep the mask on. Trust me when I tell you that you are not hurting my feelings one bit. There's two camps to this debate, and the majority of the elite catchers remove the mask and it's not due to bad...

    Infielder gloves

    It sounds like you and my dd have the same Pro Preferred glove. My dd's is black with black lacing Trap-eze style, like the glove Ken Griffey Jr. used. My dd's college has the LS Xeno gloves. My dd hates her catchers mitt. She uses her Capire whenever possible.

    Strike Tracker/K Zone on ESPN2

    The heel came off the pitching plate three times, and the last time she lifted her heel she was setting the heel in front of the pitching plate....not touching it.

    Catcher positioning

    From USSSA 2015 Fastpitch rule book: Sec 2. CATCHER and DEFENSIVE POSITIONING A. A catcher shall be inside the lines of the catcher’s box and all other defensive players positioned in fair territory when the pitcher takes their position to pitch and when the pitch is released.

    Strike Tracker/K Zone on ESPN2

    Lol! All I can do is shake my head at what's being allowed. Betsa's right foot comes off the pitching plate 3 or 4 times each pitch.

    Throwing the mask off

    I tried my son's Schutt and my dd's Easton Synergy and Wilson Shock FX 2.0 helmet. The Shock FX helmet was the best of the bunch, but even so, when looking up I felt like I was looking through a wide tunnel. The true purpose of the hockey style mask is it better disburses frontal impact, and...

    Throwing the mask off

    It is designed to be removed. If it wasn't, you wouldn't be able to take it off.

    Throwing the mask off

    A, but not for the reason you think.

    Throwing the mask off

    Let's talk about stubbornness and considering facts and opinions. I'm the one that said if a catcher wants to keep their mask on it is fine. I never said it was wrong. I call it a preference. You're the one that is adamant about keeping the mask on. I am not the stubborn one here, you are...
