    2020 LXT 31/20

    Warranty return bat with very little wear/use. While waiting on the return bought DD a Ghost and she only carried this one around as a backup. A few hundred swings, hot bat. $175 shipped.

    Strong drive vs quick drive Cue

    DD is what I would consider an advanced level pitcher at this point. After pitching for about 7 years she is 13u with a game speed cruise of 57-58mph (pocket) and very good command of a change, drop and rise. Of course as we wait on mother nature to inject size and strength into her body we are...

    Tanner tees - looking for feedback

    Looking to invest some of my stimulus...looking at Tanner Heavy. My question for those of you that have them is...which one? Youth or Adult? Seems like the Adult doesn’t go low enough (26-43”) and the youth (20-32”) doesn’t go high enough. DD is 5-6” FWIW. Any thoughts appreciated.

    New pitching rules/Queen of the Hill

    Decided to start a thread on its own for this. NOT A SALES pitch. I understand the theory with the queen teaching proper leg drive mechanics and in fact bought one myself. With both feet in contact with the rubber I would suggest maybe the feel of proper leg drive is hard to master without...

    $$ News Flash - Florida Gators drop Easton for Wilson

    First on the scene with the Ghosts and now switching. Money does talk I suppose but I wonder if the Gators coaching staff was truly sold on Wilson bats over Easton?!? Be curious to see the difference in offensive output.

    Training tool addiction?

    Working with DD last night and as I looked around the cage I started to realize I just might have an addiction. Over the last 5 years I have acquired or built a whole bunch of gadgets. So then I thought “Let’s make a list and let the trusty folks at DFP be the judge”. Here goes: Hitting...

    Stepping off to start new inning

    Seen this alot lately. Home team down to their last out, time almost out and coach has a runner step off to start a new inning. 1 run game. Thoughts? Bush league? Shows lack of confidence in your hitter at the plate? Great coaching? What is the consensus?

    WTB Demarini 31/21 balanced

    If you have one laying around that you would want to unload reasonable PM me. Between sizes, growing fast, so I just want something to bang around with over the offseason.

    12U PGF Platinum National Champs

    Seen the picture of the winners with 19 girls and 5 coaches. Tell me this isn’t normal for 12u?!? Maybe I need to get to the west coast but that seems a little over the top. Maybe 12-13 are regulars and the others are pickups to put them in that picture? No idea....no judgement....just...

    2019 lxt

    Not interested in a debate about Wilson vs Easton and the whole dealer conversation. Nor interested in indian vs arrow, as most seem to agree it’s whatever DD has the feels for and has confidence with.... Having said that— DD picked up a new LXT in the store and loved the balanced feel (and of...

    Bucket dad’s - mitt recommendation?

    DD is beating my hand to a pulp in my 2.5 year Mizuno MVP. After an hour lesson you can see my heartbeat in my hand [emoji849] Esteemed experience bucket sitters - please recommend a mitt for an average male hand so DW will quit laughing at me!

    11" vs 12" speed difference

    Curious what everyone has experienced going from 11/35 to 12/40 in regards to speed difference. DD is moving up to the 12 for school ball and will go back to the 11 in a few months. Not that it matters much as I am hoping throwing the 12 for a couple months will boost her 11 speed but just...

    Worth warranty replacement

    Anyone had any experience with getting a warranty replacement recently? DD's Legit Ricketts-12.5 fractured at the handle last weekend. Sent it in and all I could get on the phone was that it would be replaced with a Rawlings. I am concerned they are going to send an Aspire (total junk). Just...

    Pitching change

    ASA tournament. Bottom 5th. We are visitors and up 4 runs. Time expired. Pitcher hits first batter. I call time - run out to calm her down - 1st mound visit of the game. K's the next 2. Walks the next. Mound visit #2. Other team whines and blue makes me change pitchers citing 2nd mound visit of...

    Exit speed for 9YO

    9 YO DD (4'7" 72 lbs) did a ball exit speed test after hitting lesson tonight with a BallCoach radar. She hit 47-48mph consistently WHEN she hit line drives. Question- I have NO idea how this compares? Good? Bad? Shouldn't be worried about it at this age? It surely doesn't do any good if you...

    Bunt defense 10U B

    Just curious what the experts say. Keep in mind this is from the angle of 10U B level. Some teams we face have multiple elaborate bunt coverages with kids running all over the field in different circumstances. My theory on bunt coverage at this level has been this: seems like the best athletes...
