    Kinetic Arm

    Anyone have experience with this product? Seems they mostly advertise it for overhand throwing, but curious if it would help softball pitching too, maybe preventive keeping pitchers healthy. Product: https://thekineticarm.com/ Some reviews:

    Do softball pitches "move"?

    Educate me. I'm just a bucket dad with a daughter in 10u rec. I definitely don't know what I'm talking about, so would love some insight from the experts here. Baseball pitches very clearly move to me. They actually break because of the spin the pitchers put on the ball. It's super obvious...

    10u DD has gone 15 innings without pitching a walk

    My daughter has never been the no. 1 pitcher on the team until this last fall season (rec), now she's clearly the no.1 pitcher in the league. She's been working a lot. Her last game was this last Saturday, the championship game. She pitched 5 innings, we unfortunately lost, our infield just...

    Travel ball with no Sundays?

    So my family has chosen to not do Sunday games. My daughter is pretty into softball and it really seems like the next step is travel ball, but from what I can tell that really isn't an option unless we're willing to do Sunday games. I figure we're just out of luck unless we just do the Sunday...

    Getting a rec team to hit

    I've done a couple seasons of coaching 10u rec and I'll be doing more in the fall. A lot of our practices are batting practice in stations, so getting in a lot of reps, but what seems to be the biggest issue is hitting against a live pitcher. We were doing cages once a week, a lot of tee work...

    10U Swing Eval

    My daughter is 9 and having a hard time hitting. She's a pretty decent fielder and would probably make all-stars if she could just hit, but she rarely hits at all, but when she does they are always softly hit to the infield and are almost always outs. Have gone through a few hitting coaches, it...

    Stalling For the Win

    I coach 10u rec. You would think it's not super competitive, but these coaches are intense. Everybody's ridiculously competitive. It's one of the better rec leagues around, but yet everyone is super competitive. This last Saturday my team (ranked second to last out of 8) was playing the top...

    DD has decent locations, but everyone hits

    My daughter is first year 10u. We practice a lot. She puts in a lot of time, and she has progressed a ton. She's throwing strikes about 70-75% of her pitches. Right now she hits her spots dead on about 40% of the time, but she misses by just a bit if she does miss. We're definitely still working...

    Using baseballs instead of softballs?

    Softballs are expensive they also tend to get lost. I have about 30 or so, but in a perfect world I would love a hundred+ for practice. I do a lot of station work and the more you have the less time wasted chasing after balls. Baseballs are way cheaper and if kids are just hitting or fielding...

    Stations vs Position Work

    I started coaching this year because growing up, and watching my daughter, it's always bugged me how horrible (in my mind) practices were run. Growing up playing baseball usually we would have one, or at best, 2 lines of kids doing a drill for 10 minutes then we would switch to the next drill...

    Should we just keep looking for a pitching coach? HE vs I/R

    So a couple months ago I posted a video of my daughter pitching and I was suggested to help her with I/R. https://www.discussfastpitch.com/threads/8-year-pitcher-eval.41483/ We've gone through all the drills for a couple months and I really think she's making great progress. Her first pitching...

    8 year pitcher eval

    My daughter just started pitching this last season. She'll be in 10U in the fall/spring and seeing the 10U pitchers she's got a long way to go if she wants to pitch. We've been practicing everyday, but I'm worried we're learning bad habits because I just don't have the experience with softball...
