| Sept. 18, 2019 Tri18 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Mikens Count, My AT18 model will feel very similar in weighting as it’s a 13.5” barrel with a 1/2 ounce end load which closely resembles the Dudley model you refer too. Once you swing the AT18 with its Advanced Technology, you will notice the difference of the size of sweet spot and ease of break in. Alan Tanner Team 1 Sports |
| Sept. 17, 2019 Tri18 | Topic: Bats Discussion: AT18 bat for 2020 from Worth Word has it that the factory is going to start shipping a little later this week. Don’t miss out on the hottest new bat for 2020..... AT18 Team 1 Sports 561-718-7504 |
| Sept. 16, 2019 Tri18 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Mikens Pete, We do a section on just that at my training camps. A quick rundown is GENERALLY speaking, a majority of hitters will be more successful hitting those 11’-12’ pitches in the middle of the field or backside. If you watch a lot of games in 50 M+ you will notice that most pitchers do not throw that high of arc consistentlybecause they don’t want balls hit at them up the middle at 95 to 105 mph. There are a lot of great and DISCIPLINED hitters who have honed their skills and know not to try really pulling those balls. If you are talking about a home run swing on the higher arc pitching you will find it’s quite easy to create a very tight backspin on those pitches when directing the ball towards the middle of the field and getting great distance on them. Higher arc pitching does give you more time to adjust and “push” the ball backside as well. It’s all about adjustments in timing and hitting the ball in the right location depending on the pitch itself. Hope this helps you out. Good luck and hit ‘em hard! AT18 Team 1 Sports |

| Sept. 8, 2019 Tri18 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Mikens Gary, There are a few of the new Miken and Worth acts being distributed now so I’m sure you will hear from a variety of people pretty soon because....they are REALLY good. I have a couple of informational videos on you tube now that you can find by putting in Alan Tanner Softball in the search box. I have worked on and hit every model of the Miken and Worth 2020 Senior bats including my own signature model...the AT18. Here are some important characteristics that you will find up and down the lineup: 1. Out biggest accomplishment is the quick and easy break in as compared to our last couple of years of bats. I have literally had some that I broke and we’re game ready in under 75 swings. Remember that each player is different so it may take you a few more or a few less but I would say that almost anyone can have these at high performance levels in under 150 swings and....they continue to get better. Our velocity and distance levels at 100 swings are comparable to last years bats at 400-450 swings and again....they get better from there. 2. Our sweet spot remains the biggest in the industry. Almost all of the hitting surface gets lively at break in. It’s hard to miss hit these bats unless you really miss the ball . 3. The feel and sound of our 2020 line is substantially improved especially the barrel feel at impact. After break in you will feel the softness of the barrel at impact and literally sense the trampoline effect as the ball leaves the bat which creates velocity and distance. 4. Our durability will still be among the top of most of the really high performance senior bats out there. 5. Even though we have created the softer feeling the bats will not dip down to such a low compression level too soon which can decrease performance. I have worked significantly with our engineers on these designs to tune these barrels to get the best blend of performance at the right compression levels for ANY style and age of players. These new designs will compliment ANY level or age of player and everyone will benefit. The bats were just officially launched last week and our goal is to get as many as we can out to those who preorder them before our great event in Las Vegas. We are working hard at the factory to try and meet those timing goals so if you wish to get one ASAP feel free to call me. I like to tell players: Sometimes there is a certain amount of hits you can buy.... This is certainly a golden opportunity. Gary and others I hope this helps you. I will be making other informational videos on all of these bats real soon. Alan Tanner Team 1 Sports Miken/Worth Pro Staff |
| Sept. 4, 2019 Tri18 | Topic: Bats Discussion: AT18 bat for 2020 from Worth You can see a new video on my you tube page that shows the very first hits off of the best senior Bat we have ever developed. It’s only a few minutes long and we’ll worth seeing. The official program announcement will be tomorrow afternoon and there will be more information then. Alan Tanner Team 1 Sports 561-718-7504 |
| Aug. 30, 2019 Tri18 | Topic: Bats Discussion: AT18 bat for 2020 from Worth I have had an outpouring of response and inquiries about my new senior bat. I was able to hit the first two bats off the line and to sum it up quickly....they exceeded my expectations based on the 7 prototypes I went through to perfect this bat. It has a 13.5” barrel and a 1/2 ounce end load which is the most popular configuration that players ask for. There is no doubt it’s the best senior Bat that we have ever developed. I’m running from this hurricane but am anticipating being able to work on orders sometime next week. The bats should be in stock sometime around the 2nd or 3rd week of September. Call me at 561-718-7504 for questions and information. Alan Tanner Team 1 Sports |
| Aug. 28, 2019 Tri18 | Topic: Product review Discussion: Shorts for Bp, games, the beach....! More and more I am being asked about shorts to play in , swim in, and to just hang out so....I made a you tube video on my Alan Tanner Softball channel on you tube so you can get more information on them. Stay cool 😎! AT18 Team 1 Sports |
| Aug. 27, 2019 Tri18 | Topic: Bats Discussion: 2020 bats Big Announcement today on my Facebook page and you tube channel concerning our entire new bat line from Miken and Worth. You will get a description of each model but the key piece of information is that : These are the best senior bats we have ever built. Strong statement but....truth. They will be available in about 2-3 weeks. AT18 Team 1 Sports 561-718-7504 |
| Aug. 13, 2019 Tri18 | Topic: Bats Discussion: 2020 bats Gary, I have been working on some new Advanced Technology for the 2020 line of Worth and Miken bats for the last 8 months. I will tell you that they are the best that I have ever swung in performance, durability, and sweet spot and they require MUCH LESS break in than any of our recent offerings. I have been through 7 different prototypes in trying to get to the best possible levels in each area and we have now been successful in doing just that. We are hoping to get bats out into the players hands in September in advance of Vegas if at all possible. Alan Tanner Team 1 Sports Miken / Worth Pro Staff |
| July 25, 2019 Tri18 | Topic: Bats Discussion: NEW Dudley Lift one piece 2020 The NiFong bats are end loaded. So far I haven’t experienced or heard of any of the production bats failing like the Hot W did. Only 500 of the NiFong bats were produced at this point. AT18 |
| July 24, 2019 Tri18 | Topic: Bats Discussion: NEW Dudley Lift one piece 2020 JU As far as Dudley’s go...it’s better than the Lift and it doesn’t break like the Hot W. AT18 |
| July 24, 2019 Tri18 | Topic: Bats Discussion: NEW Dudley Lift one piece 2020 If you are speaking of the new Nifong bat from Dudley I have some in stock now. Alan Tanner Team 1 Sports |

| April 23, 2019 Tri18 | Topic: Bats Discussion: New Senior bat technology and performance insights Kevin I hope your health continues to improve and you are on the upswing so you can be back on the field again soon. Alan Tanner Team 1 Sports |
| April 22, 2019 Tri18 | Topic: Bats Discussion: New Senior bat technology and performance insights Kevin, (tattooball) I do my own testing in both lab and on the field. The facts that I am “regurgitating “ are based on my research and testing, not someone else’s. I don’t and will never claim I am the only one doing such testing, but I post factual information based on my studies not somebody else’s like you are alluding to. I put ALOT of my OWN time, money, and work into what’s written here. Thank you for your interest. Alan Tanner Team 1 Sports |
| April 19, 2019 Tri18 | Topic: Bats Discussion: New Senior bat technology and performance insights Mont, I am speaking in general terms. EVERYONE has a number and when it falls below that his or her performance with THAT BAT will decrease. Bats that are really HOT OUT OF THE WRAPPER AS IN IMMEDIATELY GAME ready are bats that potentially have a very SHORT TERM high performance life. You don’t necessarily have to own a bat tester (which costs around $1200) to find this out. Please see some of the above messages. A majority of companies employ better technologies now that create these scenarios. I’m just trying to educate players so they can make good decisions. Alan Tanner Team 1 Sports |
| April 19, 2019 Tri18 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Soft Barrel Bat 0 Great post...because this brings up a very new and viable topic. I answered it very briefly in a previous thread on this message board. I will soon be making a video on this subject since it becomes more relevant day by day...stand by.

| March 7, 2019 Tri18 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Senior Spring Training Camp in Vero Beach, FL So it’s was in the Mid 50’s last night....hopefully our last cold front and Florida sun is shining! Come on down to Senior Spring Training for some fun and sun! Alan Tanner Team 1 Sports |
| Feb. 22, 2019 Tri18 | Topic: Bats Discussion: New Dudley Mr. Burke Your wife called me a day and a half ago to order a bat that you have been trying to get since December. I TOLD HER AHEAD OF TIME that I wasn’t positive on which weights/ models were coming in but if it arrived I would ship it immediately. When the 28’s didn’t arrive today, and BEFORE I HEARD FROM YOU, I-immediately called Dudley and arranged for your bat to be shipped DIRECTLY TO YOU today from Dudley. You would have received that bat Tuesday or Wednesday. That apparently wasn’t good enough ? If you and your wife needed a bat that badly before that then you SHOULD HAVE EXPLAINED THAT TO ME UP FRONT AND REQUESTED TO PAY FOR OVERNIGHT SHIPPING. THIS IS YOUR COMMUNICATION PROBLEM. I did everything I can do and even if I had the bat today you still would not have received it before the one that I arranged Dudley to expedite to you. I cancelled your order and by the way never charged you. Best of luck getting a bat before Tuesday. Please make sure and ask for overnight shipping and save everyone the time or drive and go,pick it up. Good luck to you this year, Alan Tanner Team 1 Sports |
