    The softball gizmo is for women’s fast pitch softball. The player holds it at the handle with one hand and the the. practices their flicks/rotations/spins for their different pitches. It strengthens the wrist and forearm and practices consistency

So, I'm looking forward to taking a look at what you have. I'm currently using InkFrog and Vendoo (likely going to cease Vendoo - because it can only deal with 1 - ebay store account). There are different issues with Flyp and ListPerfectly. So... there is room for ONE GREAT app(lication) that can DEAL WITH the missing links, power, performance, and features true 'power users' NEED to REALLY have a 'living wage' from RESELLING (without over taxation).
