| Dec. 16, 2018 BruceinGa | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Professional Trainer At Softball Magazine's Senior Camp I attended a presentation by Bob O'Brien, a college pitching coach and, I believe, a sports therapist. He now plays with Team Kitty. He recommended the shoulder exercises as presented by Dr. Jobe. They can be found with the help of Google. The presentation was all about not working out Dad (Deltoid) and working out the 4 Kids, Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Teres Minor and Subscapularis. (Whew, I'm glad I still have the handouts he gave us.) To see the entire handout you can view it at our league facebook page, Georgia Elite Senior Softball. The main thought, in my opinion, was don't use over 3 lbs in each hand and do 3 sets up to 30 reps each. This past year I was diagnosed with a partial tear of the sprespinatus, fraying of the infraspinatus and labral tear. I'm fortunate that this is in my glove shoulder and doesn't affect my swing. I just finished my second week of doing Dr Jobe's shoulder excercises, every other day and find a decrease in pain and increased movement in my arm. I would suggest that if you have rotator cuff problems you check into this. Hi Webbie and Joe! |

| Dec. 3, 2018 BruceinGa | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Soft Toss Machine About ten years ago the talk was that The Wheeler Dealer was the one to get. It was found that it needed to be elevated on a milk crate before an acceptable height was obtained. I don't know if they are still manufactured. |

| Dec. 3, 2018 BruceinGa | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Rethink Stride as a Smooth Positioning Step for better Timing and Power SwingMakeover 83 Bogie, it was great seeing you again this past week. I'm sure this is another great video, I'll check it out this afternoon. |
| Nov. 14, 2018 BruceinGa | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: New Stote softball Perl, we use the Team One ball in our league at Bishop. I don't know if there is a ball that flies further. The only caveat is that it reads "min 44/375". |
| Nov. 12, 2018 BruceinGa | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: New Stote softball What's up Pearl? Without hitting the balls side by side I really couldn't tell you which one is better. I can say that the Stote isn't a bad ball. It seemed to have the same type cover as the Micro Cell balls (It might have had a MC cover). I didn't notice the cover or stitching getting loose. |
| Nov. 9, 2018 BruceinGa | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: New Stote softball jfsully, I only saw one shot that had a lot of movement. We were watch the game between Team Florida and the NJ Hitmen and a long line drive was hit down the left field line. It started to curve to the left and all of a sudden it moved right about 60 feet. Everyone got a chuckle! |
| Nov. 9, 2018 BruceinGa | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: N. Collier Results for 65s divisions Thanks Tim! We had great weather with fantastic fields. |
| Nov. 5, 2018 BruceinGa | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: No such rating in the rulebook I agree Tols! One would think SSUSA would follow their own rules and guidelines. |
| Nov. 1, 2018 BruceinGa | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Runner reversing direction The wise runner on third would run to the commitment line and stop. When the third baseman approaches for the tag the runner should step over the commitment line. If tagged after he steps over the line he will be awarded home. |
| Nov. 1, 2018 BruceinGa | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: A fifth rating? Kevin, yes, I have heard that about the 65 Major-Plus team out west. I didn't know Team Kitty was in the same boat. I'm doing great, seems like I'm beating this thing called "old age", at least for now. ;) I hope you are doing well, heard you were going through some things. |
| Nov. 1, 2018 BruceinGa | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: A fifth rating? I am aware of the four skill levels, AA, AAA, Major and Major-Plus. Is there another level, higher than Major-Plus, Super-Major? In the past I have heard this term but it was used in place of Major-Plus. Dave or anyone else? |
