    This pitching motion legal?

    https://1drv.ms/v/s!AjeNQl9VEybaptZ8EmGGTZcVH95lnQ?e=bFRpbp Saw this over the weekend and was surprised to be told that the umps said it was fine. This was in USSSA and an 18u team. I really didn't care but was surprised it was said to be ok and looks like an injury waiting to happen to me.

    Head tilt before pitch

    I assumed it would be best to have your head, and therefore your eyes level when starting your swing. Was told recently that it really didn't matter as long as they didn't move their head up or down during the swing so wanted to double check here.

    Increased velocity with weighted ball?

    My daughter was wanting to increase her velocity and it was recommended to use a 9 oz ball for some drills. She was doing a perpendicular drill that was in a velocity program from Rick Pauly and I noticed she was throwing the weighted ball faster than she did the regular one. (Rick Pauly's...

    Wasserman high level pitching

    Anyone have any experience with Wasserman high level pitching? My daughter just got it and is working through some of the drills now. We were able to identify a few things that she needed to work on and there were drills included that were designed to help. She just started, but what she is...

    Bullet spin when throwing overhand

    My daughter is a pitcher primarily and has been pitching 1 to 2 times a week for months with no issues. Team practice started a few weeks ago and her overhand throwing has increased a lot. She mentioned this morning that her forearm was a little sore and I expect that it might be from the...

    Age/speed when a catchers glove becomes necessary

    Question came up for rec league that supplies equipment. At what age or maybe more importantly at what velocity does a catchers glove become needed? If the pitchers aren't sniffing 40 mph, would a catchers glove be worth it? Would it be needed even in the mid to upper 40s? Developmentally...

    Question on interference on runner after scoring

    Runner touches home plate and jogs about 4 steps back toward her 1st base dugout when a bad throw hits her. Runner from 3rd base was already heading home reading the ball up the line with no one covering home plate with the catcher chasing the ball up the 1st base line. The ball got by the...

    Pitcher's glove color? Steam fitting?

    I've been trying to get my DD talked into getting a glove to start breaking in but she had no interest. Today a lace broke on her glove and I really don't think it is worth getting relaced. (Older Mizuno MVP) Locally, most of the gloves I can find that she likes are either white or white/grey...

    Curveball Twist and Turn? Corkscrew Curve video

    Teaching the "Corkscrew Curve" - YouTube I saw this video and thought the guy in it looked like Boardmember? If that is the case, I'd assume it would be worth paying attention too. After watching I was confused though and have heard turn the door knob in reference to throwing a screwball...

    She decided a little over a year ago she wanted to try pitching. She started getting lessons at that time but still have a long way to go. She has some issues with twisting her push foot and keeping her backswing straight. I didn't know what I/R or forearm fire was until finding this message...

    Help finding a face mask for pitching

    My daughter just started to get serious about softball and decided I needed to get her a mask. I'd hoped to have her try on a few to see what felt the best but not really an option with the current state of things. She is 5'7" 125lbs but has a pretty small head. I'm assuming I'd need to get...

    How much is a warranty worth?

    I expect that it will depend a lot on the bat, but what would you be willing to pay for NR bat vs new with full warranty?

    Help keeping Demarini bat naming straight

    I'm new to fastpitch and looking for a bat for my daughter. I was getting a little lost in Demarini naming and wanted to double check. CF9 is from 2017, CFX from 2018, CF ZEN from 2019 and 2020 is just CF but would be similar/same line at least. The Hope version are the same bat just different...
