when we were kids it was such a putdown to say "you hit like a girl".... after watch the WCWS I wish I could hit like a girl. If you guys are not watching it is a great show of softball. This gals really got the swing. Check out ESPN

mad, I had a similar experience last year. I heard about a gal that could hit it out at one of the parks that I play senior league at. I only knew two league guys that could hit it out there, so I was a nonbeliever. Then I went one night to watch her play. 6'4", about 230 pounds of muscle, sweet swing, hit one 300 foot blast while I watched (hit the fence, not over)—yeah, she could hit it out. I, too, wish I could hit like THIS girl.

MS i have watch almost all the games of the WCWS,and you are right,there are a bunch of great hitters there.their swings looks so good,very few hit any cheap ones out.
omar was at a coed tourney a month or so back and watched a girl hit one out and a few others bounce it off the fence(one against my fine pitching,LOL),now it was the girls ball(11") but still they hit it real good.

mad dog, I found the equalizer when I pitched coed was with the smaller women's ball I could put a twist on that made anything other than a dead center hit a probable out. Wish I could have pitched that little ball to some of the guys, too.

yeah the little ball will behave diff,i sometimes have a prol with the women,b/c of their height and not so free swinging as guys.i also don't play a lot of coed so throwing the little ball is not a regular thing for me.

I sure most of you know but for those that may not; NCAA (high school) use a 12" softball. College is a .47/400 ball (I think)
