Fastpitch Shopping Alert

Wow! I just caught wind of some MAJOR sales going on at Baseball Savings including Up To 75% Off Mizuno Footwear. Even though the name of the online store is Baseball Savings they do also have some great deals on fastpitch Softball Stuff too!

I don't know about you, but 75% off is the kind of deal I love to see, especially during this time of year when you have to buy so many presents for so many people. If you still have some fastpitch lovers on your list, this is a sale you won't want to miss out on. When was the last time you saw deals like these?

• 60% Off Nike Youth Uniform Belts - Now Only $3.88

Just the thought of those great deals makes me want to up and grab them before the sale ends. Best of all, you can shop from the comfort of your own home and don't even need to step out into that nasty weather, wait in crazy lines, or fight to find parking at the mall. Get some great gifts, pick up some cool Softball Gear, and maybe even something for yourself? Either way, have fun shopping and enjoy your weekend!

Fastpitch Softball - Hitting Picture

Just sharing a picture I took today. It was our first Saturday practice of the season. We just did a quick batting practice session and my daughter and I got to jump in at the end to take a few balls off the machine. I can tell I haven't hit in over a year....timing is all off! LOL That's okay, I'm not playing competitive softball and I know with a few more chances in the cage, I'll be back on track. Here's a picture of my daughter hitting the ball. The picture quality stinks because it was actually a video clip I was playing on my TV. I paused it and took a picture of the image with my digital camera. I know there's probably a better way to get the still image, but this was the fastest way. :)



Hopefully, one day, her helmet will actually fit.

Mattingly Offers Discount to Teams

I just received word from Cheryl Beck over at Mattingly Baseball that they are offering a very nice discount on fastpitch aluminum bats to all softball teams. They are clearing out their stock of the MVP line of bats and your team can benefit from this clearance sale! All these bats DO feature the very unique, very comfortable, patented V-Grip handle. There is a minimum order of at least a dozen bats, but I happen to know that these bats are being offered at an unbelievable discount.

To find out exact pricing and further details about this offer, please contact Cheryl Beck at cheryl.beck [at] mattinglybaseball.com (replace [at] with the @ symbol, remove all spaces).

The Youth Synergy Is In

The Youth Synergy I talked about in my last post came in last Tuesday. My daughter got to practice with it all week and used it in our first game this weekend. I have to say, I like what I see so far. The bat isn't very heavy which concerned me at first, but the ball still pops off the bat well. In fact, my daughter hit her first homerun ever with it this weekend. Granted if there was a better left fielder in the outfield, she would have probably been held to a double, but the fact remains that she hit it hard enough so that it kept rolling far enough to allow her to get all the way around the bases before the ball ever got back to the pitcher.

Needless to say, my daughter likes the bat and so do I. I'm glad I picked it up. Plus I like the colors. I know, men always say you shouldn't judge a bat by how "pretty" it looks, but I do like the look of the Synergy so that's a bonus. :)
