Good stuff Mike -- #s 5 and 8 are my favorites. You asked about how I'm liking the 400 in the other thread: Truth is now I know I'm a wimp. I seriously doubt that I'll ever get a shot like #5 with it because I don't think I could move the beast fast enough to keep from chopping the position player's head and/or glove hand off. Oh to be young and strong again :cry:.

I like 4 and 8. I think #6 "misremembered" to stay in the
same zip code as the pitching rubber... ;)

Jerry - I had it on loan it was a beast, hopefully have another one sometime in the future to call my own but I'm so far behind in everything right now I dont see being able to afford that. The whole "living expenses" outweigh the new 400 toy.

Mike - yes it did, tooo fast. I wish I was down there longer, I didn't hit my stride until about Thursday and had to drive back on Sunday. Another 2-3 weeks down there I woulda been happy, :)

Squirrelly - He dropped it quick, I sat there chimpin going "this better be in focus, this better be in focus, this better be in focus" as I zoomed in.

Dave - Once you take your initial stride you can leave the rubber, Andy has a very long stride that takes him away from the rubber and his back foot drags a bit, but as long as he starts there it's legal. I have a 15 year old 6'3" kid now I'm working with on his stride so he can get extended like that and be on top of the hitter.
