I am looking to make/buy decals for my team's batting helmets, how large should the decals be? I was thinking 1.5" or 2" in diameter.
id go with 2 inches, or maybe even 2 1/2
they are bigger than they look. if anything, you want them to be too big rather than too small
Plan on hitting the batting cages. Going to try both the medium speed and fast speed pitches. I have a youth 32/18.5 bat. Is the bat going to be okay for those type of speeds? Or should I stick with an adult -3 bat?
Use a bat that is similar in length and weight as the bat you will use in a game. A couple of oz. more is ok, but try not to use a lighter bat.
I NEVER use my game bat in a cage. I don't think anyone should use a game bat in a cage that does not throw leather baseballs.
I have a Louisville Slugger wood bat that gets those ugly marks from hitting rubber batting cage balls. What is the best way to clean them off off without damaging my wooden bat?
Use rubbing alcohol
My Mizuno Vintage Pro G2 batting gloves ripped yesterday and I need to find one that is more durable because I swing almost everyday, either soft toss or off the machine, or a tee.
I've had Nike Diamond Elite VI, but they ripped when I slid head first into second base.
I need to find a durable batting glove for maybe $20-$35.
i use franklin. thats all ive ever used and they last me quite a while. i no their cheap. but they work

Because I have a batting glove and want to use it for golf.
Baseball Batting gloves are made of a lot thicker hide. They are for better grip on the bat and to whisk away the sweat. Hitters will use stuff like pine tar on their hands to better the grip. If they use gloves the tar stays with the glove and won't hamper defense play in the field. Can you imagine trying to throw a ball with a tar laced hand ?
Golf gloves are for feel and to whisk away sweat. Golfers don't use sticky stuff. We can change our grip material for better traction but mostly comes from the glove.
When I caught behind the plate in college I used a handball glove because of the extra padding.
THe bummer thing with gold gloves is that they wear out rather quickly in damp weather. So forget the glove and just get Corded Grips....
what would make the best music when you walk up to the plate for your at bat in baseball. i like rock more than rap but rap will work too i dont really care just sometin that gets you pumped up.
I always liked Back In Black by ACDC. Just hearing the beginning got me pumped up.
I also like Enter Sandman and Welcome to The Jungle too. Don't forget about Thunderstruck by ACDC also.

Batting cages are a crucial ingredient in any baseball or
softball training regimen. They are used both by batting coaches
and by recreational athletes to help improve a batter's speed
and accuracy in hitting a ball. Outdoor batting cages are a
useful and necessary tool for most teams.
Many communities have commercial outdoor batting cages at
outdoor public parks and other areas specifically designated for
baseball. These facilities are set up on a rental basis. They
can be used for both softball and baseball. Prices vary with the
amount of time used. Contact your local parks and recreation
department for the location of the batting cages near you.
Climate needs to be taken into consideration when purchasing a
batting cage, as the elements will affect certain materials
differently. A region's humidity level should be noted before
ordering a cage made with netting that might mildew easily.
Because cold can also affect the durability of netting, make
sure that the netting is suited to the region in which the
batting cage will be used.
Outdoor batting cages are used more often during the summer. As
baseball and softball are historically spring and summer sports,
outdoor batting cages can get quite a work out during the warmer
months of the year. It is a good idea to have materials on hand
with which to mend outdoor batting cages. They may require
mending as the baseball and softball season progresses and the
cages are being visited more often.
Outdoor batting cages can also be purchased in a portable style.
Indeed, if a team is on the road, they may want to take their
own batting cage with them, instead of relying on the park where
they will be playing. If flexibility is important, portable
batting cages are a sensible choice
