The Perfect Mitt - Which Softball Mitts Are Great For Which Positions?

The Perfect Mitt - Which Softball Mitts Are Great For Which Positions?
by Guest Author Charley Refkin

The first thing to consider when you go out looking for the perfect softball mitt is the position of the player who will be using it. This is essential because different positions have different tasks. And they require their accessories to do different things for them. If you are still struggling with your softball mitts, and is having trouble telling a catcher's mitt from an infielder's glove, the descriptions below will definitely help.

Strictly for catchers

The most distinctive feature of catchers' mitts is that they do not have fingers. They are also heavily padded, so they can better protect your hand from the impact of the speeding ball. These types of mitt are also relatively more sturdy and durable because they are built to withstand all the action, and also keep the hand from getting too much trauma from ball landings. The catcher's mitt has closed webbing, and features a smaller pocket so you can easily take the ball out.

First base only

First base mitts look just like catchers' mitts because they don't have fingers as well. The only difference is that they have less padding. They also have a wider but shallower pocket so it's easier to get the ball out of the mitt. The typical size is 13 to 14 inches, and the webbing is open so it's easier to trap the ball within the pocket.

Pitcher perfect

Pitchers' gloves have a closed webbing to allow the player to keep the softball hidden while he tunes up his grip before the next pitch.

Infield

The gloves that infielders use are typically smaller than average and with a shallower pocket so it's easier to take the ball out and throw it to the person approaching the base. Many infielders are more comfortable with open webbing, although some third basemen will go for closed web mitts for better support during hard hits.

Outfield

Outfielders' gloves are typically the longest and biggest types, sometimes spanning at least 12 inches. The size is required because the players need to be able to catch fly balls.

Tight Spin Trainer

Fastpitch Softball: Tight Spin Trainer
Posted on YouTube by jpblankenship1

Order my new DVD today at www.ritalynn.com for only $30. Go to the online store. It is over 2 hrs long.My number one recommendation for increasing your spin speed (which we record by pitching the RevFire ball) is the 7-pitch workout with the Tight Spin Trainer. It develops sport-specific range of motion (muscle memory of the release) while building strength in forearm, wrist and fingers. Two things make a pitch move: direction of spin and speed of that correct spin. Increase your spin, you're movement will increase and so will your strikeouts!!! Adjust the brake for tension and spin 30 times for each pitch. Take all the tension off and do 15 super fast spins of each pitch. Do this workout 3 times a week! Go to Ritalynn.com for more information.
