How to Stop Over-Reaching at the Plate
I joined slow pitch softball in summer 2024. I have 11 years of baseball background. I'm a solid pull hitter.
My first year, I hit 4 home runs. Last year, that jumped to 16, and I was hovering around a .600 batting average.
My issue is inconsistency. I just want to be more consistent and get on base more than anything.
I'm looking for efficient drills to keep me from over-reaching or hitting the bottom of the ball when I mishit. Even if the drills are weird. Open to suggestions.

What should be the best way to construct a batting order? Best to worst? Or spread the lineup?
Assume the following rules:
- Rec-level division
- Coed (max 3 male batters in a row)
- (EDIT) Lineups are typically 10-12 players (sometimes 9 players if short-handed)
- 5 run limit per inning max until last inning
- If male batter walks in front of a female batter, male batter gets an automatic double. Some leagues use optional female at bat (can bat or take intentional walk) while others use mandatory at bat. I'll go with mandatory at bat.
A lot of teams tend to build hitting lineups differently. Some like to stack their best hitters on the top (ie best 3 male hitters + best female hitter followed by next best 3 + next best female and so on). While some other teams like to spread the lineup (ie something like dividing the lineup by 3 tiers of A/B/C and spread them).
This gets debated all the time. On one hand, stacking the best hitters on top means you start with a ton of momentum but you'll have likely an inning where your worst hitters are clustered. On the other hand, a balanced lineup will ensure that there is a good hitter almost every inning but you'll have rally killers.
In your opinion, which one is better overall? Let's say for if you're trying to win games (ie playoffs or tournaments)

Why can’t I find a 12.5 inch glove with H web?
I prefer an H web mainly because that’s what I’m used to from when I was a kid. I got a Mizuno Premier in 12 inch and 13. The 13 just feels big to me. I’d like a 12.5 but they only come in the tartan/closed web. What am I missing?

Work is paying off
Hi guys! I’ve asked for help a few times and been putting what you have said to work especially at the cages. I’m keeping my elbow up, engaging my hips and trying to attack the ball. Here I am once again asking for anything else you can see with my swing! My goal is to hit it over the outfielders head (since they move in for ladies) but I’m just shy here of doing that.

Need some tips
I’ve been working on my oppo swing a lot, I can hit the high pitches anywhere but I cannot hit a low and outside pitch well to save my life. How do you genuinely hit a low and outside pitch oppo effectively?

Spiderz
Me and my husband just signed up for the Spiderz Mega Draft in Houston this upcoming December. We signed up for the prepaid waitlist. Anyone have any experience with the wait list? It did say that they have never had anyone not be placed from the waitlist but I have anxiety lol I want to start planning hotels and childcare. How soon do people usually find out before the tournament if they assigned a team?
