Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 5174126, member: 1969"] Depends on the type of softball. The windmill version or the various lob versions? I agree the lob variations are certainly easier and its a totally different level of skill. But windmill? Very different game, but it's not really any easier to hit. Windmill games at a higher level tend to have no more scoring than baseball (and it's probably lower). Hitting is hard. I was a good hitter in baseball in my teenage years, and I could time any pitcher except for the few elite in the league. Perhaps it was because I didn't play any windmill growing up (and there was some towns in Ontario and Quebec where it was the dominant form of ball) , but I played about 4 games against men's competitive teams around 17 as they needed bodies a few times...and I couldn't make the adjustment to catch up to pitches. I found it really tough. [/QUOTE]
