Looking for someone with real world experience with this tool from the pitching perspective. How valuable did you find the data, how often and for how long (# of pitches tracked) did you use it? Was the data easily interpreted by the average (college age) player and/or Coach or was their a...
You've come a long way baby...keep it going! As a Dad of three wonderful, talented, athletic DD's I am grateful for the progress that has been made in women's sports. Keep speaking out and fight for what is yours!
Not many programs have the resources/talent to do this but there are some great concepts that can be used.

Watching Alabama/LSU and just saw Shelbi Sunseri foul off a pitch from Fouts right into her face. Really hope she's ok and nothing too serious but dang, I'm sure that hurt like hell. She was wearing the side/chin guard on her helmet...ball never touched it. Not sure what the stats are as far...
Found this pretty interesting on several levels... The more I hear from her, the more I like Coach Lawson.

Open ended question - what's the most common method for a college level coach to learn about an opening? Favorite or most visited website that posts these positions? Word of mouth?
Also, when is the best time for a Coach to seek a new position or to make such a change?
I'm curious about...
Well, it was a heckuva WCWS and proved incredibly entertaining on many fronts. It was great to see fans in the stands and the viewership numbers up so high. We saw some true grit and a couple meltdowns but overall kudos go out to every player and staff that battled through this season...
What is the fastest speed you've seen reported so far this year (in mph)? Where did you see it recorded, ie; ESPN, Flosports, Grandpa radar??? Monica Abbot is still credited with the fastest speed recorded for a female fastpitch player (77mph back in 2012, not sure what that speed was measured...
Softball will likely be impacted by other college athletic programs shutting down due to COVID-19 and associated issues. Some programs and schools are cancelling all Fall Sports right now (June 2020) regardless of whether there Conference is go/no go or on a reduced schedule. To my way of...
I'm curious as to what your experience is in various parts of the country as to what grade level (ie; 6, 7, -12th, college Freshman, Sophomore, etc.) your teams consist of at the different Age classes (10U - 18U). It always seemed that "playing up" was encouraged and even sometimes treated as a...
So, this just happened at our house - in the shadow of COVID-19 both of my daughters signed their National Letter of Intent to play NCAA Softball seated at our kitchen table. The ceremony was NOT held at their High School in front of their classmates or at the Travel Ball facilities with their...

I've seen other straps and harness set ups being used before where they get attached to a wall or fence. This one gets attached to your leg or foot. Feeling the resistance/movement during a hitting/pitching motion for...
Dear DFP junkies - here's an offer that I thought at least some of you might feel good about. While NOT directly softball related, if we can help others by sharing something as simple as this, well then, we all benefit...
As some schools are sadly sending their students home to study online or asking them not to return after Spring Break we are starting to get the news that various Tournaments are being cancelled and many athletic programs are being either put on hold or cancelling for the semester.
It might be...
There's been a lot of discussion about Catchers Mitts for the younger players and even for us BucketDads (or Moms) but I haven't seen much talk or comparison lately about what Mitt prevails or is preferred most often at the upper levels. If you were buying a new mitt today what would it be and...
My heart goes out to these families, friends and teammates. I can't even imagine the gut wrenching heartache they are going through.
