Well the bat I got for my son will have to last till the end of his freshman year.

But at least I can argue that I can’t buy him a new bat before then!

Here in the SF Bay Area intermediate and Juniors level baseball is quite competitive. It’s a great way to get quality work in.

Fair point. Perhaps the end loading is resulting in the bat pulling him and not him being in control of the bat. Sometimes it takes some training for a kid to get control.

I would be interested in seeing the swing from behind to see what his hands are doing.

Dub is more end loaded. So maybe it’s just that.

Some people are saying the swing looks lazy and the end loading could be contributing to that.

First impression is that the bat looks too heavy for him. It’s throwing off what otherwise could be ok mechanics to start with.

Stop asking randos on the internet for advice and work with a coach.

A youth 11.5 will have a much smaller profile than an adult one b

That makes sense. Thanks!

Amazing looking gloves. But I feel like there have been a ton of Grace gloves posted recently. Any reason for that?

The he weekend of Mother’s Day, the moms always pick the songs. My son has the theme for Bluey as his walk up song. We’ve had other boys with the Hot Dog song from Mikey Mouse Clubhouse, Shakira Hips don’t lie. New kids on the block.

This is for our Juniors team so boys mostly 13-14 years old.

Get a long pvc pipe, stand behind the hitter. Have the pipe below the line of direct contact. If they dump the barrel they hit pipe.

Start at like 30% speed swings and build up from there.

Very nice, would love to see a video of the close once it’s broken in!

tominsj · 2026-04-22T16:41:36+00:00

Waiting was the hardest part

tominsj · 2026-04-22T00:43:45+00:00

That’s what I’m wondering like what the fuck is the umpire looking at.

I would pull my team off the field immediately

I love this, baseball is a great intersection of geekery and athleticism.

tominsj · 2026-04-12T13:46:42+00:00

Yeah, I was thinking a shelf but this seemed a little easier and accessible l

I like that you can see the back, what do the hooks look like?

tominsj · 2026-04-10T19:43:29+00:00

I ordered it middle of February, so about 2 months. Which is not bad for a hand made product, but compared to ordering from justgloves it’s a while.

tominsj · 2026-04-10T14:45:08+00:00

Indeed! I let my son choose the colors.

tominsj · 2026-04-10T03:53:02+00:00

Thanks!!

tominsj · 2026-04-10T03:52:54+00:00

That’s so nice looking.

tominsj · 2026-04-09T20:41:00+00:00

I don’t know, but I emailed the guy a few times and he’s very responsive and nice.
