Sorry, I don't know how to get it.puckeater00, is the pitching rubber really that close? Normal Modified distance is 46'.
Couldn't access the video
I might have a fastball from 38'
Hey, I lost my knuckleball. But realized I was gripping it differently than I had been. I needed to bring the ball in closer to my hand, I had my fingertips gripping correctly just flexed away from my hand. Once I brought them back towards my palm everything was good again. It was weird, I'm glad I could figure it out. Your pictures are helpful. Thanks
I'm going to bump this to the top because this week, my modified interest is up. My GF just tried out for a mens modified league that will allow 1 woman. The woman can only pitch, but is allowed to do windmill. (I know, WTF?) I just went to watch, wound up shagging balls, got a chance to hit, and I was pretty good. I might start pitching modified in the yard just to see what I can do. Maybe make the switch from slowpitch....
Dang, thats a huge advantage. How many woman pitch in that league.? I played in a fastpitch league here with woman that played and the woman that pitched was one of the best pitchers in the league. I played Modified with a former Womans World Series pitcher that pitched in some tournaments with us, she pitched Modified, but by the end of the Tourney my hand was swollen from catching her.

That's just crazy or arrogant, or both. A women's fastpitch pitcher will definitely have an advantage. And why can't a woman play anywhere, not just pitch? Dumb rule, imo.
We had a woman play ss on a team in one of my leagues. Her bat was ok, but she could definitely pick it.
Yeah, I agree with all of you. I know some modified pitchers can throw hard, but there are tons of girls that pitched in college who would be way better. I don't know who runs this league or why his rules are the way that they are. I know the league starts on thursday so I might head up there and watch a game or 2 to try and get all of the facts.
I got hit in the upper thigh last week. Left a nice big bruise. Luckily it was a Clincher Gold or it would have been a lot worse.
Same thing happened to me but it was closer to my knee. The seam from the ball made it look as if I had a 3 inch scar that the stitches had been removed from. I'll take that over what happened to puckeater.
Oh and I lost my knuckleball again. It only seems to knuckle now if I throw it hard.
Well, started at the mound for the first time ever the other night.......It was a little rough, 12 runs first inning.. only one home run but it was a grand one, second inning went a little smoother, only two runs.. end of the game came quickly with a total of 21...Quite a few errors were made in the field behind me but I have to say, all the batters smoked the ball on me lol
Tonight I'm going to give it another shot, hoping it doesnt go as bad as the first time around lol
