    POLL~ Have you ever went to overhand throwing lessons?

    He actually just had a clinic here about two weeks ago and from those that attended, they said it was pretty informative and helpful.

    Hitting hip and throwing inside

    To me it looks like her arm circle is too far over her head and then also behind her body. This is throwing off the ball path and causing the balls to be thrown inside. When she is hitting her hip, it could also be due to her arm path being too far behind her head, My daughter had this issue...

    Move 3 Feet, a perspective on changes to the game.

    I think itd actually be a good thing if those in the ivory tower are truly worried about player safety.

    Questions to ask and/or things to know when joining a large "national" team

    First and foremost, Id want to do some research to find out who will be the actual coach. Secondly, you mention that the org owner's name is listed on the team name. Is that for the purpose of getting placed on better fields during bigger tournaments?

    USSSA Gulf Shores Nationals

    It seems like they may have changed the format bc we went last year for 10u and it was a full week if you made it that far. We had opening ceremonies on Sunday, Monday- off, Tuesday- 2 pool games earlier in the day with rest of day off, Wednesday- bracket game #1, Thursday- Bracket game #2 and...

    2024 Easton Advanced

    Have to agree on the looks. I think its the best looking paint scheme of any ghost ever made.

    Another obstruction, what's your call?

    Looks like a textbook example of how runners can easily bait an obstruction call. It seems to be a very common occurrence in college ball these days that if you nudge or push the defensive player, it will typically get called in your favor.

    Is crow hopping now legal

    I could be wrong, but it seems that this should the critical part here. If the front foot goes even further after landing then obviously its a crow hop. If it doesnt, then it wouldnt be a true crow hop.

    I need a "bracket" pitcher? What exactly does that mean?

    Typically means that you are looking for a pitcher that is of the caliber to hold their own against teams in bracket play. In our area, pool games typically arent used to seed teams so you can pitch your pitchers that need game reps and let them work through things knowing the game doesnt count.

    Travel Team coaches?

    Have you posted on Facebook groups that you are looking for a team? Im a member of groups in most of those states and they have tons of members. I know Georgia Fastpitch has a few as does the NC and TN pages.

    Is crow hopping now legal

    Forgive my lack of understanding here, but for those saying this is a crow hop, Im not understanding why. I could see it being a crow hop if her front foot landed then went even further out again but it doesnt. Unless the crow hop I did in the outfield is much different than the pitching crow...

    Determining if a team...

    This really depends on the age. At the 10u level, obviously you need 2 decent pitchers but in my opinion having a good catcher is absolutely crucial. I still remember that for my daughters first year of 10u we had a really good pitcher that would have 10+ strikeouts a game but the majority of...

    Replacement Demarini CF Handle Tape

    What thickness of grip are you putting on the bats? If Lizard Skins doesnt seem to work for you, then Id look into the Vulcan Grips. My daughter likes a really thick handle so we always keep the original grip on the bat then put a 1.75mm Vulcan grip on top of that.

    Can we start a dialog about food options at the fields?

    Mine loves electrolytes but refuses to eat pickles. She'll drink the hell out of some Liquid IV but try to have her eat a pickle real quick and she'd rather feel like death hit her :rolleyes:
