I never understood why women use the smaller ball for slow pitch and/or when batting during co-ed games. I mean, many of these women played fast-pitch at some point in their lives. If a 12-year old girl can manage to catch, throw, and hit the 12" ball, what's the logic about going to the smaller ball once they're "grown up"?

And, if a woman is pitching in co-ed, why doesn't she get to throw the small ball?

Don't get all wound up - this is mostly rhetorical.

About 5-6 years ago there was a proposed change to eliminate the 11" ball from the Co-rec game. The council member I was with covered that change in the Player Rep meeting while I covered another change in a different group.

I caught up to him coming out of that committee and the women were still hollering and laughing at him for such an absurd proposal.

Hmmm.....I felt much the same after opposing the pitching distance change for 14u in the FP committee meeting last year.....
