what are the different kinds of softball equipment?

the most basic is a glove and cleats, but alot of people like sliders, which come in two forms, padded shorts and things that look like soccer shin gaurds, and some people can't hit without their own batting gloves and thier own bat. Usually a coach will provide balls, extra bats, tees, batting helmets, pitching machines, bases, pitching and catching equipment (but people who are serious catchers have their own gear, which is a helmet, chest plate, leg gaurds, and a catcher's glove) \n\ni think that's about it....

www.pony.org has softball rules that are used in Pony leagues.  I am sure that little league softball has a website somewhere too, I just don't know it!

You need a big rubber band, some minks foot oil. Rub the glove down in the minks foot oil, then put your softball in the pocket of the glove, and put the rubber band or bands around it, and put it under your mattress for the night, or under some sort of pressure. And keep it on your hand as often a possible, constantly throwing a ball into the glove. Hope this helps.

It would probably be better to buy a new softball instead of trying to patch one.\n\n :P

If you're really serious about softball anything made by Mikan is great. The ball comes off the bat solidly every time and is great for power or the hot shots down the line. The top choice amongst a lot of players is the Freak. You have to be careful before buying a Mikan though because many leagues and organizations (ASA and USSSA) have outlawed a number of the Mikan brand bats and balls because they can be dangerous. Check your league standards and be prepared to pay the price because the bat doesn't come cheap. There are several posts on e-bay that can also help. But for me, anything made by Demarini has always been a plus.

A softball is made of cork, yarn, leather, and basically the same material as a baseball. The inside is held together with compressed air. The higher the core of the compressed air, the further the ball goes and the harder it is.

I like fastpitch softball because it's a game for 'real men' and women too.\n\nI like slowpitch softball because it's a game for 'real men' and women too.

Softball is easier, because the pitching is slower, and the ball is bigger. the games are almost the same, except for the differences I mentioned, for a beginner, softball is the easier game to pick up.

You can buy USA softball replica jerseys or personalized jerseys, posters, etc and officially licensed college softball merchandise on http://www.softballoutlet.com/.  You could also check out http://www.texasteamstore.com/longhornsltd/index.htm but I don't think they carry any softball jerseys.

I think that DeMarini is always a good brand to go with. DeMarini's are good with slowpitch as well as fast pitch. That would definitely be my vote!
