Excellent sport shots. And I'm glad to see wearing masks. These are just kids and if it will prevent injuries, then it's a good thing.

I am beginning to think I need to go to the dark side. Actually, these are a credit to the photographer-nice job.

Great shots. Glad to see the pitcher wearing a mask now. I have seen alot of pitchers get it right in the face.

Thanks everyone for your comments. These were shot with the 55-200 lens with vr. Just sold this lens and have picked up the 70-300 vr for more reach. Saving for the 70-200 f2.8 and the 150-500 os. Money, money!
Plus one on the mask's! These gals are just 12 and 13 and believe me, they can whack that ball.

OS/VR/IS is irrelevant shooting sports.
Actually, you should turn it off. It can increase the shutter lag.

Wow! Now that is a new one on me. Wall-E, can you tell me where you gleaned this information?

If you don't already have the shutter half pressed, the image stabilization has to settle down (on anything besides Sony, it's mechanical), then focus lock and exposure calculation before the shutter will fire.
That is, unless you have your camera set to ignore the focus lock.
OS/VR/IS is only helpful for slow moving/stationary subjects with shutter speeds of 1/100th or slower. If you're shooting sports at 1/300th or faster, it's only something more to take camera battery power and slow things down.

Most of my shooting is done with shutter half pressed. I also shoot on continuous settings, but can control that with my finger. I have shot both with VR and non VR lenses and have much better photo's with VR than non VR in my action shots. Shutter speed depends on what I am trying to obtain in the form of a blur, etc.
On a given day at an event, I may shoot anywhere between 500 and 1000 shots without changing my battery.
Not arguing, just explaining my experiences.

I honestly believe that the difference in your shots is the actual difference in the glass, and not related to the VR.
I'm not arguing either.
