The problem is that fastpitch softball is a derivative of slowpitch softball. Slowpitch has a place; however, the entire reason for throwing underarm was to make it a more leisurely game. Someone then decided to alllow girls to hurl it underarm at high speeds. It is a fundamentally flawed sport due to the imbalance between pitcher and batter. There is really no reason for it to exist other than the sexism that has kept girls from playing baseball.
The mound is 40 feet away, except in college and some traveling leagues where it is 43 feet. (fastpitch)
You may be wondering what the difference is among a slowpitch softball bat, a fastpitch softball bat and a regular baseball bat. The difference is in the technology of designing the bat. The length, weight and barrel diameter, among other features, are the main differences. Manufacturers have determined the size and weight that are optimal for hitting a slowpitch softball versus fastpitch, and have designed them accordingly.softballpickles .com
Construction is basically the same - softball gloves are just larger than baseball gloves due to fact that softballs are bigger. Softball gloves tend to be 13" and bigger, and baseball gloves are less than 13". If you play both softball and baseball and want to stick with just one glove, then buy a softball glove. *********************** From The Coach That's right - Construction and leather are the same (for respective models).

Anderson bats are the best in my mind.....I have coached for 25 years and the girls who are relatively strong with quick hands destroy softballs.....at the same time, it is alot of bat for girls who are not very strong.It depends - are you a slapper, a power hitter, do you have slow bat speed or fast bat speed. The answers may be balanced, end-loaded, light drops (-11, -12). There is a great site - www.thecoachreviews.com - that reviews the Best Fastpitch Softball Bats.
