I spent a lot of time this week revamping articles with tables and images, and porting all my Amazon.com reviews into the Softball site as their own articles. As a result, this week I only have one new book review:

"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 Fastpitch Softball.
