My DD learns that part of her swing has bat lag. I personally agree with that. She was told the other day by her rec ball coach that bat lag is not correct. Just curious on other opinions?

Your coach doesn't know what he is talking about. This should help you understand the difference, because everyone has bat lag.

Maybe he meant bat drag is not correct which would be true. Here is a good video that shows what bat drag is so you know what to look for.

LOL are you kidding me?. I cannot see how some people are allowed to coach or instruct. Time for a little clorox in the gene pool.

Believe it or not it was bat lag. She's been working with Steve Gambone from the 14u lady lasers. He'd have a fit if I told him. She just humors her rec coach and says.." ok, I got ya "......

I sort of have the same thing going on with the HS coach instructing or I should say yelling at my kid to have her bat flat when bunting. It is habit for her to angle the bat which is the only way she has been coached to do. Now if she pops one up in a game and gets yelled at - it's gonna irk me to say the least.

Yeah, barrel above the hands right? That's how my daughter was always taught. Flat barrel is begging for a pop up

Reason #329 to avoid playing on two teams at the same time.
If you think she's confused now, wait until the end of the summer.

Quick ragging on rec ball coaches and go help them, the majority are doing it for the benefit of all the kids, not just theirs. I've coached HS, Travel and Select sports for over 30 years,and have been an organizational officer for community based rec as well. Rec coaches for the most part are inexperienced and need knowledge, but other than a few most do it because nobodyelse wants to step up. Most travel teams practice time is limited, so for those in the know offer your help on days when there is time. It's amazing how a little time invested in coaching the coach will benefit all the kids.

I agree, most want help for they take the ever painful jobs that many many many look at and say nooooo way and only do that so there DD has a team to play on. Shoot, I too said noooo way in rec ball and then again turned down the travel thing..."I knew better" and now stuck
. I've helped a rec team two of the past three years, quite rewarding. Even helped a competitor org last year. Lots of fun!

Just to clear then things up for a couple of folks on here. The rec ball coach is a very knowledgable softball coach. I HAVE coached with him for the last 4 years, just didn't have time this year. I was a little stunned when he mentioned the bat lag thing. He's actually a buddy of mine and I don't consider it "ragging" on him or rec ball to get other people's opinions on a comment he made. This is only my DD second year of travel ball, so she know a heck of alot because if this csoach! She's been seeing Steve Gambone, from the lasers for a hitting coach and I was just curious on what other people thought. That's all, so a few of you need to step back, count to 10, and relax. I'm not trying to rag on anyone, that is in no way my intention! Besides I'd rather coach rec than travel. I've found that teaching a girl who is raw, is alot more fun than trying to teach one who's seen 15 different specialty coaches over the last year. Sorry if I offended anyone, just getting other opinions.
