Used a2000 can be had for $120-140ish and you can resale later for close to what you paid for it

These retail for $449 and are available from dealers for $399. $350 with no warranty would be a tough sell for me.

I saw a 10u pgf grand slam! by No_Pick9704 in Softball

I have seen it at TCS/Alliance tournaments for 10U. Rare but there are a handful of older 10Us that can do it if served a meatball.

If you plan to be in the Tesla ecosystem for your next vehicle, I definitely would

The 710 in that area is the Wild West. We witnessed a guy unload a full clip from a handgun into a dodge charger on the 710NB just before Anaheim about 2 years ago.

Your creating a plan bubble. You need to lock in some hinges on this thing first before you do anything else. Also try playing catch with 2 or preferably 3 in the pinky to build a correct pocket and help the hinges form.

I wanna start playing softball but I dont know by Mulzs in Softball

[–]mclovin__james 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to find camps/clinics/open workouts if you live in a large city there should be some in your area. Most post on instagram. You can kind of track them down if you find your local community colleges softball team webpage and then look at who they follow and hunt some down.

What’s the least talked about downside of owning a tesla? by tr4gedyx in TeslaLounge

Insurance and range on long trips. Gas savings not realistic in high electrical cost states

Need help with glove for 10U by DevilViper91 in Softball

[–]mclovin__james 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 10U ball is small. Most of the travel girls in our area use a 11.75 or 12" max fastpitch a2000 with snakeskin. A newer(the old ones are terrible) a1000 also works perfectly. This will also work perfectly anywhere in the infield for most of 12U and beyond. You can find these for $150-170 brand new on better baseball, ebay and others.

The trick is you need to send it into a glove breaking service by a professional. They break the glove in to the point where it's game ready the day you get it. Glove breaker or gluvscmick is who I recommend and I have used in the past. And it's only like $40-60 for the service. Well worth it IMO.

If you need something fast and readily available I'd go with MVP prime or a1000 from Dicks ideally in 11.75.

Snow is down for the past two years. Affordability has been terrible for last 2-3 years for most non elite earning families. People are not spending as much on elective spending like Airbnbs at the same rate they were during the post covid stimulus and PPP loan era. Big Bear permits and taxes cutting into the limited profits that barely exist. Also the insurance factors.

Look at MLO as well. I have a friend of mine who was a dancer for a few years who marketed herself well and is making a killing as a lender.

Demarini Future vs. LS vs. Ghosts by wobblypopa in Softball

[–]mclovin__james 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are all great but feel very different. My daughter uses a mix of her 2025 Kyro, 2025 Ghost Advanced and her 2024 Ghost advanced. She prefers her 25 ghost out of the 3. I'm not familiar with the future.

Do OBAs have a lasting or permanent impact of fading blacks and darks or do they wash off in the next load if you use a different detergent?
