    Bat size advice

    My DD just turned 12 and is using a 30/19 2024 GA. Shes 5’2 and about 100 and I am considering moving her up in size (backup bat). At the moment, I am looking at the Mizuno Crbn 1 in 31/20 or 31/21. I don’t have have access to these bats and wanted to hear the opinions of those who made a...

    Sofia (11yo), first year of 12U

    DD is 11 and starting her first season of 12U. She has come a long way but we are always looking for ways to improve. To me, it seems like she swings across her body but I am not sure. I don’t see the typical extension you see with other hitters. Lastly, she has a tendency to slow her swing...

    3rd base glove

    My 12U DD is using a Rawlings Liberty Advanced RLA207SB-6W 12.25. While she really likes the pattern, she’s always fighting with the wrist pull strap. https://www.baseballexpress.com/rawlings-liberty-advanced-rla207sb-6w-12-25-fastpitch-fielder-s-glove I am considering this glove and would...

    Little things

    I am working with my 10U DD who is a first year catcher. She receives the ball well, can block and knows the correct footwork for throws. However, she lacks in game experience and has made mistakes like throwing to first with a runner on third. What are little things that she can do that...

    F23 Mizuno PWR CRBN

    My DD has been using one for the past few weeks and here is the feedback she provided: Not balanced compared to other bats she has tried. In fact, it feels end-loaded compared to the Suncoast Backlash and CF. The bat is very close to the sticker weight (30/20). Barrel is smaller/shorter...

    How/when does the rear elbow slot?

    How/when does the rear elbow slot? Does it slot as part of the swing or does it slot independently. I see many swings where the elbow is slotted (around heel plant) and the bat is still vertical. When my DD’s elbow slots, the bat is almost in a lag position. My DD’s never really slots her...

    Mitt Question

    My DD is going into her second year of 10U. Last year, we got her a Rawlings Shutout Catchers Mitt which worked out great but didn’t last long. I purchased an All Star CMW-3001 and she never got to use it since it was too big. I recently ordered a Rawlings R9 mitt, and although it looks...

    WTS All-Star FP Catchers Mitt CMW 3001-B 33.5"

    I bought it back in May for my 10U daughter and it was too big for her. It’s never been used in a game but it did get a bit dirty as we tried to break it in (still not there). No conditioners, oils or steam have been used. Only catching the ball. The glove has a deep pocket and a nice pop...

    Negative attack angle

    Recently purchased the motion blast sensor and have been playing around with it. I’ve noticed my DD (10U) has a negative attack angle in most of her hits off the tee. In games and front toss, I see a mix of everything. Any idea what may be causing the negative angle? I don’t know enough to...

    Falling Forward

    For blocking, I teach my kids the NECC way as I believe it is the best way to block. I've never taught my 10U DD the falling forward method but I find her doing it while whenever we practice - she knows it's incorrect but sometimes cant help herself. I don't want her to develop bad habits...

    Catcher’s Helmet Enhancer

    My 10U DD uses an Easton Pro-X which I like. I came across an ad about a product claiming to reduce the energy of a kinetic impact by up to 70 percent. Does anyone have experience with this product? It’s very inexpensive at $30.00...

    Blocking using one arm/hand

    10UB Travel team. Our starting catcher only uses one hand/arm when blocking and she does a good job (Her throwing arm is behind her back). Any downsides to this? We are working with her and other catchers on the NECC and Catching-101way but I don’t want to mess with something that works well...

    Chest protector help

    Hi all, I’ve struggled to find my 10U DD a chest protector that fits well. We’ve tried a few AS, UA, and some others but they were all too big, no matter the adjustments. She recently tried an Easton one from a friend and it worked really well. I ordered a few (Schro and the Gametime) and...

    NECC E-Book

    Anyone know if the E-Book will ever be out? I missed the opportunity to purchase the DVD when it was available (older daughter was catching at the time). Now my 10U player has taken an interest in catching and I've been using the Catching 101 Book but I find videos more helpful.
