| Nov. 25, 2016 JimRamsey | Topic: Bats Discussion: When did bats start getting END CAPS ? Hi! I'm doing research... when did bat makers start using END CAPS? What year? Can anyone point to a particular make and model? Thanks ! |
| Aug. 17, 2016 JimRamsey | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Retirement Ceremony? Have you ever seen a teammate or opponent have on on-field retirement ceremony? Seeing baseball players making their final waves... or Olympians leaving their shoes on tour field/court/mat etc... makes me think about it. I'd guess we all want to play until we physically can't, but I'm curious about hearing stories of players hanging it up in this manner. Thanks! |
| July 5, 2016 JimRamsey | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Calling all pitchers. Oh, so you're pitching short... that's a different topic than the path of your arm swing. 1) Try pitching flatter. That might trick your muscle memory and add distance. 2) Make an effort to use your legs more. A little more power from your legs might supplement the muscle memory of your arm swing and add distance. 3) Pitching on a reg. field is great if there's one close. If not, any clear area where you can get the correct distance is fine. 4) I am not a fan of buckets. I prefer a white towel, which is more similar to a plate/mat combo. (or a pice of carpet or plywood even.) Having the similar size is better visual reinforcement. If possible, aim for a specific point. That will help hone your accuracy. I hope these suggestions help.

| July 2, 2016 JimRamsey | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Calling all pitchers. I pitch backspin too. Two things off the top of my head... hold the ball across the long side of the laces so you get a four-seam spin for straighter, truer flight. In practice, trust your muscle-memory for the release, and think about your right thumb finishing next to your right ear. Make it about thumb-to-ear to groove a consistent delivery. Good luck!

| Nov. 30, 2015 JimRamsey | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Softball Magazine's Senior Softball Camp, December 2-5 RIght now we have around 60 players. We have a four-field complex exclusively to ourselves. One field has three inflatable backstops and pitching machines, and another has three parallel paths of live BP with several screens, so we have EIGHT hitting areas. That's a favorable ratio! Everyone can get a better overview, including video, at www.seniorsoftballcamp.com Thanks! JIm |
