First time volunteering to coach this spring and ur channel is a huge help thanks man
Happy to help!
I modified a regular backback to put it at the front of my chest to hold the balls. This makes it way easier as you always have both hands free, and can load 2 dozen balls in it. There is no bending over to the pail for balls and will even protect your chest if need be.
Good idea!
Genius!!
You got a pic of it?
Great video. Shows how to use it on the mound in very easy to follow directions.
Thanks 👍
1st year coach. Thank you for the information.
Good luck!
Excellent video, coach! Looking forward to purchasing one.
Glad you like it!
Awesome vid! Appreciate the no bs explanation!!!!
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for the video. Great explanations that I will be implementing in a couple hours as we use it for our Fall Ball season. Subscribed for more videos! Much appreciated!
Any requests for topics?
Great tutorial and knowledge advice for the Blue flame Coach. My son is just starting little league. The wife and I are looking for a machine to buy so he and his sister who plays softball can practice with. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
You are the only one I have seen that explains the physics like placing the ball correctly can affect the throw
We had the issue come up this season, so it was fresh on my mind to share what we had learned! Thanks for watching!
Great video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video! I have watched a few videos about the Blue Flame and they always feel very general and not enough info. I think you got hit the sweet spot.
I appreciate that! Working on another one coming soon!
Good review/lesson Thx. I just bought the blue frame pro, and still tinkering. I saw another guy place the ball differently in the throwing arm. My machine has quite a punch. I modified it with 2 drill holes in the front crossbar and drove 2 stakes into the ground along with the ground spikes that came with it. No way I could use it without stakes, easily or consistently. I would be adjusting all day
You are welcome! I know another coach who did the same thing and put a 3rd stake in the rear leg.
I mounted mine to a 2x3' 5/8"piece of plywood and use 7 spikes. Actually 10-12 " carriage bolts ground to a point, and it does not move at all. It is no problem removing them either. I drilled 2 holes in the front crossbar as well 5 more holes in the plywood and bolted it to the plywood and use the spike holes for the carriage bolts and disassemble with the wing nut and leave the front bar bolted to the plywood. It goes nowhere
Coach, thank you so much for the down and dirty explanation. I'm excited to get mine on the field. Do you have a suggestion of how often to change out springs?
I change them out every season. Amazon sells multi-packs.
Would we be able to use this for slow pitch softball?
I do not know. Never tried.
are you able to use softballs on it
Yes they can.
I wonder if anyone has ever tried modifying this machine to use 2 springs instead of 1 for faster pitches lol.
How fast do you want it to go?
@@coachscornerWells 100 mph.....jk lol. I don't know, I was just curious is all lol.
@@ceesparxxx uh, wow! Not sure I would trust the mechanism at that speed!
@@coachscornerWells Yeah I wouldn't either tbh lol. But even something like 75 would be awesome too lol.
