Sports Product Review

As we look back on 2009, as a thank you to our many loyal readers and subscribers we've gained over the past four years, we’d like to offer a quick review (pardon the pun) of some of our favorite products of 2009.

In no particular order:

More Than ERA (www.morethanera.com): The most thorough, useful and productive pitching statistic software you can find. Used by top college and high school coaches to turn pitching data into meaningful information, More Than ERA’s youth version will soon revolutionize the way coaches and parents help guide youngsters on their way up as well.

Pitcher’s Nightmare Swing Trainer (www.pitchersnightmare.com). The swing trainer is an ingenious device that straps onto knee and elbow, and uses resistance technology to mold perfect swings for baseball hitters.

Sports Dashboards (www.sportsdashboards.com) and Team Pages (www.teampages.com). Online league management websites which allow organizations to better communicate with players, parents and coaches.

No Errors (www.no-errors.com). Quite simply, the best baseball bags we’ve seen. Oversized “Fatboy” wheels, lightweight but roomy construction, durability and value all team up to make a bag your baseball-playing son or softball-playing daughter will roll with pride for years.

And we love bats – especially wood bats. We’ve tried bats from D-Bat, (www.dbatinc.com), (they also make awesome gloves), Viper Bats (www.viperbats.com), Metal Wood (www.metalwoodbats.com) and BWP Bats (www.bwpbats.com). All are unique in their own way, and it would be difficult to choose a favorite among them. But suffice to say that in the haystack of wooden bat companies out there, these four “needles” will make you extremely happy.

Last but not least, we salute GCI Outdoor (www.gcioutdoor.com). These folks understand camping, hiking, and watching kid’s sports. Set up one of their chairs at your son or daughter’s soccer games and enjoy the envious stares from luxurious comfort.

Here’s hoping you’ve enjoyed our reviews in 2009 and that 2010 brings us all peace, prosperity and new sports products to review. Best wishes for a safe and happy New Year.
