Funny thing is she beats herself up about it...I'm like...duh...its your brain causing it...and worrying about makes it worse...LET THINGS HAPPEN...stop forcing them
BAM...I know...its not like they're gonna blow a fast ball by her...its aint Ricketts pitching...
HS, here anyway, has some very sloppy pitching...and umpires who are just ready to get home (or back to halfway house before curfew :D ..ball in air...over batters box...as a whole..not over catchers head=strike...


come on May

When a pitcher was floating the ball in, the men would use a real wide stance with no step. Not something I would practice though. I would listen to Spazs and (dare I say) Sam if practicing... as bad as I hate to say it. :P

You don't think Spazsdad is worth agreeing with? Just look at how he has cyber coached Skarp over the years.

... :| Sounds like some of yall have a feud brewing...


Meet somewhere and hash it out...bring band-aids and whiskey...whiskey can be disinfectant and harmonizer... ;)

Kid sees a better pitcher Sat...squares up on 2 of them, bat sounds weird...she says it vibrated her hands a LOT...said they should have left...I get hands on bat...another bat bites the dust...8 inch crack in next to last Stealth she has...can push the side in with your fingers...Mako or Xeno?

Pale Rider, I can't speak negatively about the Xeno (except for that God awful sound! :roll: ) But I can tell you that my DD loves her new Mako.

My girls still love their Rocketechs - and they never crack. My older DD tends to dent hers up, but we've never gotten less than a year out any of them.

Easton is still VERY proud of it...as far as price...DD wants one...Easton Super Source Buddy is hunting me one....
Between the 2 of us we've busted about 4 Stealths lately...The 2011s just arent durable...Bring back the SSR3Bs!

Xeno sounds terrible...not a fan of it, but it does seem to have pop...

I am relieved to hear my DD is not the only one struggling with slow pitching. With the exception of facing a pitcher committed to Alabama. Its been brutal.

True story. Conversation between coaches after the game.

Coach A..You have a pretty good team but the only reason you beat us is because your pitcher is so damn slow. We couldn't hit her.

Coach B... Well thanks. We'll throw her against you every time we play you then.
