No. Fast-pitch is were they have the big softballs. In slow pitch, they have little ones. But they are both bigger than Baseballs! The BIG balls that you see in collage softball are started being used in 12 and under. (Which is 11 and 12 year olds) 8, 9, 10 year olds use the middle sized ball. 5, 6, 7 year old us the little balls. The liitle balls are a little bigger than baseballs.
its the weight of the bat the heavier the bat the further the ball will go the same in fast pitch softball
Technically you just do the same thing you do in fast pitch except you must be patient and not try to slam the ball. you keep your eye on the ball and when it gets about the right height then you hit it and run. it's easier to place the ball when you hit a slow pitch ball.
Fast pitch and baseball are the same. A softball glove is different.
softball has a bigger ball and despite its name, the official softball is the same hard as a baseball also, the ball is pitched underarm in softball
Generally the rules of the softball league will tell you which bats are able to be used. You may want to check those first. Other than that, yes a fast pitch bat can be used. There are a fe people on my co-ed league who do this and have had no problems for 3+ seasons witht he same bat.
its pretty much the same except that the ball is comming at you 10xs faster and you REALLY have to watch the ball It's pretty self-explanatory. In fast-pitch, the ball comes at you faster. In slow-pitch, the ball is coming at you slower.
as a pro softball player there is such thing as a soft softball... for indoor practices etc.... how far the ball goes rlly depends on how fast its going rlly.... so neither.... they could go the same distance... at the same speed though...
The same place as fast pitch strike zone. above the knees, below the chest, and on the corners or in the middle of the plate.
same as baseball but with a bigger ball
AnswerThe answer depends on whom you ask. First, I will assume you're referring to fast-pitch softball, because slow-pitch softball is a game anyone can play. As we used to say, softball is for everyone, but fast-pitch is for athletes. It's true that the ball is smaller and harder in baseball, but the distance from the mound to home plate is much shorter in softball. And because top pitchers can throw at better than 70mph in softball, that can be very intimidating. The field is smaller in softball, so it's harder to hit a home run in baseball, but the smaller softball field tends to make the game much quicker and requires very fast reflexes. Softball pitchers can vary their pitches with the same accuracy and variety as baseball pitchers.Baseball and softball are both excellent games requiring similar skills. It all depends on which game you like and which game your more comfortable with.I think that if you really think about it either could be harder and either could be easier because if you already play one of the sports you know how to play. but if your new than softball may be easier because of the size of the ball.It really depends on the ball size I mean you play with a softer ball in softball and it is much bigger compared to a normal size baseball so you have more of a chance of hitting it.
You can move to the other side of the plate during an at bat IF you ask for time out from the umpire AND time out is granted.
A cricket ball is much harder then a softbal and a baseball
