    15 year old bat size.

    Dd has been swinging a Xeno 32 -10. She’s hitting reliably with it. Hitting spots fairly well. She’s going to be a freshman and I’m toying with the idea of moving her up to a 33 -10. She’s on the thin side but not skinny. Turning 15 soon. Should I leave her alone a few years on bat size? Not...

    2022 ghost/ CF

    Dd and I seen new ghost (1) at dicks. She swung that and a CF in the test cage. Ghost might have been a tick better on the screen. She said they both feel about the same as her xeno. Xeno going strong for now. She did say the CF grip felt slick.

    14u rec

    Helping 14 u this year. Dd last year of rec. 3/4 of the team are lefty.. We have a few girls who can’t throw or catch a flyball still. I have been taking these girls one at a time off to the side playing catch and throwing fly balls. I heard first practice a coach was helping and a girl rolled...

    KB17 Rawlings /All Star Vela

    The KB17 arrived and Dd and I have spent a short time with it. She says it's stiff but not really and seems to have no problems playing catch. She's 13. She did say TIP feels tight and hurts her fingers. I told her it will loosen up. I'd say fit, finish and eye appeal definitely goes to the...

    Rawlings gloves ,different colors on sale

    I’ve been looking at new gloves. I see the butterscotch heart of the hide color on sale? Thoughts ? Also I’ve seen that the wrist strap and thumb strap are now being padded with a sponge looking material? Is this a change for the better? I’m looking at 12- 12 1/4 h webs

    Usssa web site player stats. Subs

    A team Dd subbed for wasn't very good. They added her to the rooster because she wasn't on a team at the time. Her stats are showing that she has played 13 tournaments and actually she's only played a handful ever. Is it possible the team she subbed 1 tournament for they're whole season is...

    Bucket dad mask

    Im having a hard time seeing balls when catching Dd inside. I'm looking on Amazon at masks. What's best a fielding mask or a catchers mask like the ump wears? I'm trying to stay pretty cheap. Maybe $40 or less?

    Adding a few players

    I was going to go off on a rant and decide to ask you coaches a question. Have any of you turned away better talent to maintain and develop the kids you have? This situation envoles a team that won 1 game during winter season. Made up of small town kids. Several girls moved up, I took Dd over...

    Travel family

    Is it wrong that I don’t want to be part of a team “family”? Dd is 12. I think we really need to join a team but I really get turned off by the family talk-sorry no offense. I’m sort of watching for a good fit team but so far the first thing a coach tells me is the team family stuff. I don’t...

    2nd pitch

    Any girls throwing a curve as their second leaned pitch? Don’t think so but.. Girl wants to pitch but is a mess. Her family wants her to throw her curve . 🤕 I don’t say much.

    Basketball / softball

    Dd is 12. She likes both sports. Each travel team wants full dedication. I’m tempted to devote this winter to training (again like last year) to performance training/ basketball and softball and just have her play school basketball again this year. How do you guys manage more than one sport...

    Frustration today.

    Dd made it on a 12u team for fall season. This is more or less a all star team anybody can try out for. We have rec kids and some travel girls. Coach has a 11yr and a 13yr on team. The cut off is Jan 1 so if your 12 before the new year being 13years old isn't a problem we were told. All birth...

    Glove conditioner

    I'm sure this has been talked about 100 times but.. Dd has a allstar vela 12 inch glove. It was pretty stiff so I bought a hot glove kit. It's been great. When the glove starts to get kind of dry in the pocket I apply the hot glove conditioner in the pocket and rub it in,feather it out. It...

    Looking for a 31/-10

    I'm looking for a nice 31/-10 used. She plays rec ball and I'm thinking a clean Mako would be good. She has Easton fs 31/-12. She's getting stronger and I'd like To see her move to a -10 asap. Anybody have a good used bat for her? I'm not hung up on a brand I just thought a older model might fit...

    Should I buy her new balls?

    Daughter officially has been moved up to a 14u team. She's played up on this team here and there the last two years. I have a bucket of good 12 inch(mixed and old) balls. Should I buy a dozen new matching balls? Maybe champro gfp. I bought her a dozen 11 inch Rawlings from dicks when she started...
