    Easton just announced ADV drops this week

    They offer a numbered bat 1-1,000. I mean, if it was a Corvette or something, that might be cool. But the bat will be outgrown or broken within the year. What's the big deal of having a numbered bat?

    Catcher Wrist Guard Installation

    Hi All. I bought my daughter a wrist guard to attach to the heel of her catcher's mitt. I am thinking of installing it myself, but also wanting to see if people had experience in doing it. I asked a store local to me and the person wanted $40. I see online that it can be done in 5-10...

    31/21 moving to 32/22 or 32/23

    My daughter is a 12U player and is getting stronger. What are thoughts of moving to a 32/23 (drop 9) instead of staying drop 10. Coming from a 31/21. I know 12u has girls that will start pitching 60, but I think making the change now is as good as ever. What are pros and cons of changing to drop...

    What age did you buy a nicer catcher's mitt?

    Did you wait until moving to 14U or perhaps freshman year for going with a nicer/upper-end catcher's mitt?

    Color Combinations in Catchers Gear

    My daughter got size medium in the Allstar AFX in royal blue. She really likes it, but needs a size small in the chest protector. Would it look weird to swap out the blue chest protector with the white and blue, two tone version? My Word skills are not the best as I tried to overlay the...

    All Star AFX Chest Protector

    My daughter recently got the All Star AFX gear in medium and she really likes it. The issue is the chest protector is big enough to fit 2 of her. I have tried adjusting the straps and it still seems HUGE. I am looking at the size small, but it is only 1 inch difference. What am I missing? I...

    What years do the Easton Ghost Advanced come out?

    I recall hearing that Ghost Advanced are released in 2 year cycles. There was the ghost advanced with the gray grip and then the white grip. Was that 2020 and 2022 respectively or was that 2021 and 2023? Basically, the question is when is the next iteration coming out: 2024 or 2025? And...

    "Distance Not an Issue"

    I see (Distance is not an issue) many times on tryout flyers. How can distance not be an issue? If I live in Raleigh (NC), how can we practice with a team hours away? Are the people saying distance is not an issue, expecting the people to make the team practices or just show up for the...

    Jen Schro The Very Best vs. All-Star AFX

    Hi everyone. My daughter (11) is getting taller as her size small Easton Jen Schro The Very Best gear is too small for her to make it into and through the fall season. With that being said, we are considering size medium or jumping over to All-Star for the AFX gear. Does anyone have any...

    Jugs PF50 Not Throwing Strikes

    Hi everyone. I am hoping someone can tell me what is going wrong. I have a Jugs PS50 machine and the last two times the team has tried to use it, the machine is extremely inconsistent. Granted, we are using 11 inch balls (ballistic seems leather balls), but the balls bounce back and forth in...

    Evoshield Batting Helmet - How to make the helmet fit better?

    Hi everyone! Our 10U team wears Evoshield batting helmets. One of our athletes is smaller and the helmet bobs up and down on her head. Is there anything we can do to make the helmet fit tighter? I know there are chin straps, but are there other things we can do to make the helmet fit better?

    Catching on glove side

    Any tips to get my daughter catching on her glove side? Currently, on glove side, she keeps her fingers down and elbow in her ribs. On the other side, her fingers are up and the glove is extended out and away from her body. I throw to her glove side to practice, and explain she needs to catch...

    Glove Break-In

    Hi everyone. Happy new year! I have a baseball and softball glove that I would like to get broken in. I have a machine and have done a few others. I am looking for a company you have used that does a great job (doesn't steam). Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

    Question about warranty

    Hi everyone. My daughter and I purchased an Easton Ghost Advanced in Feb-2022. We just sent it back and are being granted a warranty replacement. Hopefully we will be getting it shortly. Is there another year warranty on this bat or is that over? As a side note, as these bats are expensive...

    Catcher's Training

    Hi everyone. My daughter just finished the fall season of 10U and caught about 75% of the innings. She loves catching and wants to get better. Have any of you all used the Jen Schro videos? You only get access for like 90 days, right? Without an indoor facility (besides our living room), is...

    Shipping a Bat for Replacement

    This will be our first time sending our bat in for a refund. I have a couple of questions: 1) Is there a box recommended? I bought in store so didn't have a box to go with it. I read that USPS has free boxes. Has anyone experienced this? 2) I reached out to Easton on Halloween and got an...

    Is this paint chipping or is the bat breaking?

    I am new to the composite bat game. My daughter plays 10U and plays a 31/21 Easton Ghost Advanced. We purchased the bat in Feb-2022 and I had heard the bat had a lot of pop, but broke often. About 2-3 months ago, my daughter showed me the bat and it seemed like paint was chipping. Now, when...

    Best Ball to Use on Jugs Machine Perfect Strike 50 (PS50)

    What is the best type of ball to use on the Jugs PS 50? I have seen places say the dimpled balls, lower quality practice balls, and upper end leather balls. That is a wide range. I don't want to spend $11 a ball if that isn't needed, but I also don't want to save money on the balls only to...

    My daughter may catch some, but will mostly play 2B, SS, and 3B

    We have catchers gear and will bring it with us. For the time being, is it best to use a duffle bag or should we get a catcher's bag? What are your favorite duffle bags and catcher's bags?

    Lizard Skin - Random Question

    Hi All. Random question. Is there anywhere we can buy the Lizard Skin that Rawlings uses on their Mantra? It is blue and tapers down to white at the knob. I have looked on the different websites, but haven't seen it. I just thought I would ask the smart folks on this forum.
