    Bat other than Easton Ghost

    I have posted a few times about bats for DD14. She is plowing through ghosts faster than we can get them back from Easton. Easton recommended moving her from a -10 to a -9, which we did with the 2022 Ghost Advanced. She has only swung it a few times, but loves it. She loves the Ghost/Ghost...

    Size up the Easton Ghost?

    DD has a 33/23 2020 Ghost Advanced and a 2022 Ghost. Both are broken. We originally bought the Advanced in Jan 2020 and Easton replaced it in Feb 2021 even though it was a few weeks out of warranty. (yay!) We bought her a 33/23 2020 Ghost as a 'practice bat' to try to keep stress off of...

    ACL reconstruction experiences

    DD had ACL reconstruction two weeks ago, and I would love to hear your experiences. Did your DD regain full strength and range of motion? How long until she was comfortably practicing, batting, playing hard? DD can be a little hard to keep down, and she came out of surgery feeling better than...

    Adding a second bat - help

    I posted on the equipment page that DDs bat cracked and we sent it in to be replaced under warranty. It will take a while to get it back, which is fine-ish for now, but I hate to have this happen during tournament season. She has her old bat but it is pretty small for her, and even if it isn't...

    Easton warranty ?

    My 13 yo swings a Ghost Advanced that we purchased Jan 19, 2020. She cracked it at practice today, not quite four weeks past the warranty. Does anyone have experience with Easton doing something for you in a situation like this, even if not honor the warranty? A deep discount on a new bat or...

    Holiday tip?

    DD has weekly hitting lessons with her team coach. They are optional, and paid directly to the coach per lesson (ie, they are not part of the team expectation or cost). The lessons started in September. Do you tip/gift for lessons? If so, how much?

    Breaking in a first base glove

    Or any glove, if there isn't a difference. We got DD a first base mitt for Christmas. Her first tournament is in Jan, another in Feb, but her season runs in earnest from May-July. We are going to have it steamed, she practices 2x/wk right now. We will oil it and can strap it between uses...

    Bat size and balance

    DD is 12, she is currently swinging a demarini cfx 31" drop 10. It is 2 years old. Her coach recommended we start looking with a 32-33" and a drop 8 or 9. Isn't that a really big bat? DD is 5'3" and 130 pounds, or around there. We will have her try out bats, but I assume there are...

    Easing my way in

    I am new to the forum, and don't know that much about softball.. I loved it as a kid, but never played competitively. DD is 12, she is in her 3rd season with a travel team. She is a lefty, she prefers to play first base, she has to hit for power as she isn't a sprinter. I learned a lot...
