    What glove would you get for a pitcher?

    My DD also uses the Vinci BV-1929L for her pitching glove. She has been using that model for about 6 years and is now on her 3rd one. We had her current glove made semi-custom with lacing to match her college color. She loves it.

    Vinci Glove reps?

    Trung, are you still around to help with Vinci? My daughter needs to replace hers.

    Pitching Coach

    Ken Krause is in the northern suburbs of Chicago. Since the OP was asking about NWI I assumed the south suburbs would be a better option.

    Pitching Coach

    Jonathan Hon in Homer Glen is the best. Jill Waldron in Batavia is also great. They are both Tincher certified. My daughter has gone to Jonathan since she was 9, but she has also at times worked with Jill and Jay Bolden (before he went to Loyola). My daughter just signed her NIL, so I can vouch...

    Cleats

    We have ordered men's cleats from Boombah instead of the women's styles and find that the width on the men's styles is good. Boombah has a sizing chart on the website that helps you to convert the women's sizes to men's sizes.

    Bombah Uniform Sizing

    I agree that they fit true to size. Many of our 11U girls are in typically in women's small, and that's also the size jersey that they needed.

    Bombah Uniform Sizing

    Boombah also sent us a box with samples in it (1 of each size of the jerseys in the style we ordered), so I think they can do that for you. We do have a local rep, so I think he sent them, but I'd be willing to bet that they would send you samples if you requested them. Let me know if you need...

    Slugger Complex in Peoria, Illinois

    They were pretty strict about bringing coolers in. They did supply huge coolers of ice cold water in the dugouts for players & coaches (with the paper cone type cups), and they did allow us to bring in coolers of ice water with cooling towels in them (it was July, so it was smoking hot on the...

    XENO End Cap Warranty Question

    We just had the same exact issues with DD's LXT, except the cap was coming up in 2 separate places. I filed the LS claim online and was a little hesitant about sending it back, but LS sent us a brand new Hyper in the same size within a couple of weeks. With the warranty expiring soon, I'd send...

    Pocket Radar - Didn't want to but left no choice

    I think those who are registered on their website received an e-mail, so maybe it's worth registering in order to get advance notice if they run it again in the future. It was also posted in a Black Friday thread on DFP...

    virus?

    I recently started having the same experience when I click the Facebook link. But if I close that window and click the link again, then it seems to work fine.

    Pocket Radar - Didn't want to but left no choice

    I recall that they offered a pretty good Black Friday deal on the ball coach. You might want to watch for that next year if you don't get one before then.

    Pitching Instructors/Coaches in Chicago?

    My daughter works with Jonanthan Hon, the Chicago based Tincher instructor. He's southwest, a little past Morris, but definitely worth the drive.

    Tournament Weather Forecast 45F 9:00 AM - 60F 2:00 PM This Saturday

    We have the exact same forecast tomorrow. What's the lowest temperature that would be safe to use the new LXT?

    DIY Ipad Game Changer Mount

    What great idea! I always get nervous when I have to set it down somewhere to help a player with something. I love that!

    If you'd prefer someone in WI, Meghan Vrotsos is a Tincher certified instuctor that is just outside of Madison in Middleton, WI. You can check out her website by searching for Inner Power Pitch. About

    Couple of glove questions.

    We were 10U last year and both of our catchers had their own full set of equipment. I don't think the team should be expected to supply a catcher's glove. Assuming that they are practicing their catching outside of team practices, or maybe even getting catching lessons, they really need to...

    Pitching coach recommendation PLEASE PLEASE!!

    Alex is actually headed to the midwest this weekend for a Tincher event and my DD will be working with her on Friday. I've been following her 7 Deadly Spins Facebook page for awhile and am looking forward to meeting her and having DD work with her.

    Pelvic protector

    My daughter is a pitcher and wears one after taking a rocket of a line drive straight back to the pubic bone last fall. You can get the Shock Doctor power sliding shorts and they have a little pocket that the pelvic protector slides into. If she's wearing sliding shorts anyway, it's nice to have...

    Amanda Scarborough- The Packaged Deal

    My daughter did pitching, hitting & defense. We found all of the sessions to be valuable, and overall the day was a great experience for her. These ladies are such great role models for young softball players. They don't just teach the softball skills, they also teach life skills that help the...
