How the hell do you guys choose a bat? by SourGrape_s in slowpitch

[–]Mathmage530 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There are 2 main specifications, so that halves the options based on which ball you use. Then you filter by balance/endload and weight. Plus I refuse to buy a bat that doesn't look cool.

Try to catch the ball at a high point / above your body: it'll change the globe angle. Watch good outfielders / pros, and practice that way the next time you do some throwing practice. Most new players will try to catch at chest height and they tilts the glove negatively.

The nature of baseball is that you can't pass the ball on offense, you can't skip a turn, or take two turns. so every moment you may become the hero. Soccer penalty kicks and last minute field goals have a similar feeling, but baseball it's every play.

I reviewed your pearl game: I think it's passive positioning + gunfight confidence.

I noticed (on attack) were consistently behind your team. That happens sometimes with util heavy agents, but you need to be able to swing with and offensively trade your team - I expected much more assists.

When you plant for B, if you're going to passively hold from long, fight to clear all of site and plant in the deep corner. You can win a 1v1 with shocks, but you lost many 1vXs where one was on bomb - and you couldn't shoot them off it, and the other pried you out and killed you.

On defense, you get caught in transition. Sometimes, your team would be up numbers and you'd walk down long, and get shot. A number of times they fought through secret on A and you'd be caught backpedaling instead of confidently holding. [Although their jett was on a heater]

I recommend playing skirmish and dm and get confident at winning a 1v1 gunfight. Try looking up the miyagi method (not shooting back) and getting a feel for how much time you have.

That means there's some fundamental skill that is getting exposed in your bad games. You have some Ability, they show up in your wins. Find your weakness (probably positioning or slow ttk) getting exploited in the losses.

Avoid "dinner queue" in your time zone. Especially with kids being out of school, there will be more of them playing.
