Thanks to all for some great info. I can tell you that it really helped me get back on track. Here is where I am at: I have an unheated shed and I was able to get batting cage net hung out there so we can hit some balls when temps rise to the 20's or 30's. (We are using wood bats, not our game bats in these temps.) We went out last night and we did tee and side toss drills. It was alot more fun for the girls because they were able to see the resulult of a well hit ball instead of seeing it hit a quick screen. I have learned that I can throw the Jugs Softies pretty well, and can even throw a breaking ball. I threw from about 15-20' to simulate speed. We had great winter fun playing an imaginary game with balls and strikes and imaginary runners. (next step on that is they get to decide when it is the right time to bunt on their own and which way to bunt it.) I ordered some TCB balls. I am very much looking forward to using them. The RT bat seems to be undamaged, and we are currently bat shopping. Lastly, we are back with our original batting coach who we really liked. We got away from going to her because she had day job challenges that made scheduling erratic but that has settled down and even if it didn't: I would rather get GOOD instruction every other week than what we were getting every week. Both me and the girls are pumped about seeing this batting coach again! I really want to get her input after seeing the girls swing on what size bat the girls should be swinging, RT vs. balanced bat, etc. so that will help resolve our bat shopping questions too. All is well!
