| Jan. 2, 2021 Hammer22 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 2021 Demarini senior bats JamesLG, I swing primarily a 27oz Larry Carter(mid load). Although I have swung the 26oz Denny Crine (end load) later in tournaments because of fatigue and don't miss a beet. I have also won a HR derby (Smokey Mountain 60's) with the Paul Stanley/Paul Sadler 28oz balanced. Bottom line is you can't go wrong with any of Demarini's for performance and durability. Right out of the wrapper. You won't be disappointed. Like titanhd said go to https://www.demarini.com/en-us/bats/slowpitch-bats/senior-slowpitch-bats Doug Kett Senior advisory staff #swingtheD Kelleher/Lemay/Blue Mountain 55's |

| Nov. 29, 2017 Hammer22 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Rosters question? SSUSA Staff, Is it going to be legal for a guy on the east side of the Mississippi river to play on a west coast team or vice versa again this year in Major plus? |
| Aug. 20, 2017 Hammer22 | Topic: Website comments Discussion: Hammer22 Yes I know there are 60 teams in Aurora. Three team division tournament, Dave. 3 out of state teams with 2 for sure flying might be thought of by a committee. Sorry my question offended you. It's ok Dave. |
| Aug. 20, 2017 Hammer22 | Topic: Website comments Discussion: Hammer22 Why would you make a three team tournament have a championship game start sunday at 1:00 or 2:30. I have the last flight out of Denver at 4:32. You would think somebody would know east coast teams or Mideast teams are limited on flight times. It will be real nice if we make that game and have to forfeit. |

| Sept. 30, 2014 Hammer22 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: 50major plus Thanks guys! Definitely was an awesome tournament to win. 15 excellent teams that fought hard. Had some great games that could've gone either way. Fortunately for was we ended up getting the right bounces at the right time. Total team effort paid off for us. Thanks again |

| July 8, 2014 Hammer22 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: What was to consensus on DBO Homerun rule after Rock N Roll Reno? Mango, I just busted out laughing with your post about the DBO taking defense out of the game, Thanks |
| June 4, 2014 Hammer22 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: What was to consensus on DBO Homerun rule after Rock N Roll Reno? Webbie, No I didn't play on the 60's team. I played on the 50's. To answer your question I have played in quite a few games where the HR limits were met by both teams. That being said if in your age group that doesn't happen very often than how is the DBO going to matter anyway? In my post I am not insinuating PLUS players can't do both. Just the opposite! They can do both but when given the choice some want to take base hits, game management and defense out of the game. My choice obviously is not too. Why should the game of softball be changed to a HR derby just because technology has made it possible for pretty much anybody to hit HRs (at least in the 50's where I play). |
| June 2, 2014 Hammer22 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: What was to consensus on DBO Homerun rule after Rock N Roll Reno? Dale, My name is Doug Kett #22 and I play for DLB. I played with Line drive for 3 years before they folded. I'm not against whatever number of HR's they give but IMO the DBO is what makes a team play a softball game. |
| June 2, 2014 Hammer22 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: What was to consensus on DBO Homerun rule after Rock N Roll Reno? Mario, What does that have anything do with what I wrote!!! My response was to your comment about players not force up not liking the DBO. Again I think the rule is better for the game. The DBO help makes senior softball a much better and more exciting game. I don't care how many of your balls the pitcher touched in 5 years. |
| May 31, 2014 Hammer22 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: What was to consensus on DBO Homerun rule after Rock N Roll Reno? Mario, You don't know me but I for one love this DBO rule. I like the fact that it puts strategy and defense back the game. If you can play at the plus level you should be able to get base hits anywhere on the field not just the middle and be able to play defense. To me those that don't like the rule are the ones unable or unwilling to make themselves and senior softball better. The best softball and players in the world (USSSA Major)has a DBO rule why should we be any different? |
| Feb. 13, 2014 Hammer22 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: TOC 50 MAJOR Lefty, Thank you and yes we did. We play it 90% of the time. Good Luck to you and your team in 2014. |
| Jan. 3, 2014 Hammer22 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: All the hate on DBO with senior bats...how about this? Tim, You can add me to that list. Only problem is somebody is going to have to start making them again because they won't last very long. |
| Jan. 2, 2014 Hammer22 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: All the hate on DBO with senior bats...how about this? Kid, Everybody loves to hit the HR for sure but the HR is not what makes you a ball player. I am a player who approves the HR rule. I am also a player who could hit HR's when I need to and can get hits when I need to. I can play defense anywhere on the field. If you don't like this HR rule you need to work on your skills so you can hit down and play defense. Step up and challenge yourself to be a complete player. If not start a HR derby tournament association for one dimensional players. By the looks of this board thread you could really make a go of it. Offense win games defense wins championships!! As for the mask I agree with it being optional. I say put up a screen if it hits the screen it's an out. This way the pitcher still has a option of try to field the ball or getting behind the screen. |
