My DD got a new Marucci Echo Dmnd a couple months ago (single piece composite) and her travel coach is telling her it is broken since it bounces when he taps it on ground like a wood bat (I'm not thrilled he's doing that but regardless...) He also says it doesn't sound right. I can't find...
Any word on the new meta? Really interested in seeing whether or not it’s the true “ghost killer” that it was said to be. I’ve been looking for information about it but I’ve had a hard time finding any.
How does the meta compare to other power hitter bats like the ghost, xeno, fnx, and lxt?
I have a 9 year old daughter I'm wanting to purchase a newer bat for. Last year she started using a teammate's 2012 Demarini Bustos (30/17) and was getting a LOT more pop than she was using her cheaper, newer alloy bat. That teammate is moving up and so we will need to get a replacement for...
My DD is about to turn seven. Has played a lot of softball in her young life already. She used a 29/18 CF6 Sprite this season and hit very well with it. We have recently started practicing on pitching machine. I'm looking for a slightly bigger bat now. What are your opinions on the...
I'm not sure if this is the right place, but a group of us guys are trying to setup a couple of country mens fast pitch teams.
The girls are helping out, but I would like to get a selection of aluminium bats, so the team members can choose something that feels good for them.
They all like the...
I took my DD to a new Hitting Coach and while we were touring his facility (pole barn) I saw a sign on the wall that said, "Rolled Bats: Baseball - $50 Softball - $40".
I asked him if he rolled bats and he said he did and pointed to the 8 along the wall that he rolled last night.
I know the...
I recently discovered that a player on my 10u team was using a shaved bat. I went straight to the parent and they confirmed that my information was true, but said they were not doing it any more. Not a sorry and actually said it was not a big deal. In researching this, it is not only a safety...
Many coaches have their hitters do some version of one hand drills with a short bat either off a tee or soft toss. Some do top hand only, some do bottom hand only, and some do both.
To aid in these drills and possibly help prevent injury during these drills the hitters must have a proper grip...
Does anybody have any experience with the Miken Halo Light or Icon Light bats. Both are -12 bats I'm considering for my 12yo daughter. They seem pretty close in price and am wondering if one is better than the other, or if either/both should be avoided.
