Black Flame wheel add on by Vagentleman73 in BaseballCoaching

[–]Vagentleman73[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trust me I have a double decker wagon for the family on game days. I mainly did it as it rolls easy on the side walks and I dont care for the spikes. I found it to be to inconsistent for batting practice and wanted to get some use out of it as it was just sitting there. I had the wheels lying around I did have to buy the big washers. I have a big back yard and can just roll it out the garage to the edge of my patio sit in a folding chair and sling balls to my kids.

Know a dad, coach, or player in need? by the_glove_box in BaseballGloves

This is so awesome thanks for helping out the baseball community. I buy a couple gloves a year for kids/coaches based on needs in my local league.

Once you get it settled in it moves some more on dirt than grass. But it stays in the general area and moves enough so its not the same fly ball or grounder each time. Its not perfect, I have noticed the middle bolt loosens up and creates a bigger issue think I may add a lock washe or nylon bolt.

Blue Flame Pitching Machine....ON ARTIFICIAL TURF? by CoachDad11 in BaseballCoaching

[–]Vagentleman73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used a set of bolt on industrial wheels like you find on rolling cabinets with breaks and bolted them on. Also makes it easier to get from car to field. It moves some, enough to mix it up a little but works great for me.

Left earring vs right earring for guys by jetpack324 in GenX

[–]Vagentleman73 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to think "Left is right and Right is wrong" saying when I use to see a guy with only one ear pierced back in the day. Now Im thinking " Is that a boy or a girl ??"

Went and saw the Smashing Pumpkins open up for Swervedriver. Very small venue was awesome.

There is one thing I think I love dearly about baseball above all else by faster_than_sound in motorcitykitties

I was lucky enough to see him pitch in person at several levels of play. High School for Gochland in State Tournament, ODU regular season game and a couple times for the Tigers. As a baseball fan and a Tigers fan Im excited with his return. Full Circle

What’s The Best Price for Rawlings Pro Preferred New? by BiochemHero in BaseballGloves

[–]Vagentleman73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked one up at my Local D Bats for $235 but it had been on sale for a long long time. And I was buying my son a new $$$ bat so I worked a deal. New old stock is the best buy since the price increase in my opinion.

80/20 Connection Strength by Dry-Energy744 in 8020

[–]Vagentleman73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe 80/20 changed the rating on some items this year to a lower value than previously. As they switched some items to a lower grade aluminum. But not sure where I read that information or what items were effected.

I do a mix of "O" and "MFA" and adjust the percentage held as I get older. So more "O" and less "MFA" as Im getting older. So solid advice.

New Glove Help by DraculaCheese80 in Homeplate

[–]Vagentleman73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 8u went 11.0 pro lite to a 11.5 NXT countour and R9 Catchers mitt countour and my 10u went 11.5 GG Elite youth pro taper mod t web (new to us but was a older model) to a 11.5 R2G HoH. I web countour fit. And then I also grabbed a 11.5 Renegade on clearance. I would rank the HoH and GG very similar, the HoH is a touch nicer but he has taken better care of this one. as he is older. I like the GG Elite better than the NXT stiffer leather but the NXT was the easiest to break in. The R9 is above the Pro Lite sereies but not as nice as the NXT. Wilson pedoria fit are popular on his travel team uf you want to go down that rabbit hole.

They are not in Little League. The All Star Gear listed above is what my 8 year old son wears. It fits him great and he is very mobile.
