This week's Christmas present recommendation:

The Softball Pitching Edge by Cheri Kempf
5 stars. This is the best book I have seen on Fastpitch softball pitching, by far. It systematically removes the mystery clouding pitching and covers every single aspect of the position. An absolute must-buy for anyone serious about coaching or pitching Fast Pitch Softball.
