I am coaching at a middle school in NC. The district just added softball last year. I have several students who have never played before. I'm teaching from the ground up.
I heard most upper level HS and travel coaches did not like the Torque. However, I think it is a great tool for new players to get started. The cheapest one I found was on Ebay at about $140. Not quite in the budget for me yet. If someone has one they would be willing to donate or give me a great deal on please email me coachmike@kidznsports.com. The area is a low income area that was hit hard a few years back and school doesn't have extra $$$.
Thank you.
Coach Mike
