April 12, 2026 NYGNYY	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Baden Ball Not wanting to beat this to death but the Baden ball is very hard to see even after just a few innings. Once again I am not complaining about performance but the clover just sucks. Something should be done especially for the older class divisions It’s dangerous period
July 4, 2025 NYGNYY	Topic: Bats Discussion: Wigpopper vs Mario Foster I just broke the Wigpopper Blackout in Albuquerque. The first version didn’t test well and now this one broke. I was a Short Porch fan but I am now leaning toward the Easton Mario Foster. I have 2 red ones, a blue and now getting the silver bullet one on Wednesday. Done with Short Porch until they solve their durability issues.
July 3, 2025 NYGNYY	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Tentative Field Locations for Northern California EOM DD2….thanks!
July 3, 2025 NYGNYY	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Tentative Field Locations for Northern California EOM Close date is July 8th. Will we know the tentative file locations around that time frame or when brackets come out? Much appreciated.
June 5, 2025 NYGNYY	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Equipment I bought the Boombah titanium mask. It’s an excellent lightweight mask with very good visibility.
Feb. 22, 2025 NYGNYY	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: A wild suggestion for the 12 ft pitching height Funny thing here is as a batter I have time to adjust to the 12ft plus pitch but not the under 6ft pitch. Under 6ft is my problem. I’m good with the umpires making their calls one way or the other. It’s slow pitch softball.
Feb. 13, 2025 NYGNYY	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Baden Softballs The ball gets dirty and is tough to see, I’ve asked Baden if they have any plans of changing the cover and they replied no. That’s what happens when you have a long term contract with a customer such as SSUSA. This ball was researched by Senior softball and was supposed to be the best ball under all conditions. Clearly it is not but it is a money grab IMO
Jan. 15, 2025 NYGNYY	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Clarification for pop-up caught by catcher rule LMR. Great point regarding dead ball. If a catch happens to track down a foul pop up and is going away from the plate say toward the first base dugout and less than one out runner on 3rd. Why wouldn’t that runner be able to try and tag up and out run the catcher or pitcher to home/scoring line. I hope this makes sense.
Jan. 11, 2025 NYGNYY	Topic: Bats Discussion: Bat Idea Why not and let’s play singles only game on little league fields. Anything over the fence is an out. Bases at 60. Works for me. Lol
Dec. 11, 2024 NYGNYY	Topic: Website comments Discussion: Bat Warmers Just was told last night that if you change the grip on a bat and use bat tape/athletic tape it’s considered alternating the bat. Is that true? The person also said that if you add one of those rubber grips on the handle it’s also considered alternating it. These 2 things can’t be considered alternating a bat.
Nov. 22, 2024 NYGNYY	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Ball for 2025 Following up on 9 ball. I reached out to Baden recently and this is their response: Thank you for your email. The SPFIRESEN-01 is the preferred softball for SSUSA and other senior leagues. Currently the cover material is not changing. We appreciate your feedback, and I’ll forward it to our baseball/softball category manager.
Nov. 21, 2024 NYGNYY	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Ball for 2025 The ball performs just fine my issue at 70 is that the cover gets real dirty quickly and blends in with the dirt all the time. It becomes very difficult to see even during the day. No need to reply you can clean them….we’re talking about the other team’s ball. Baden should do something to improve this issue. Like with bats everyone is trying to improve durability and performance. Baden should be held to the same standards. IMO
Oct. 25, 2024 NYGNYY	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Desert West Phoenix Softball Complex I haven’t played there in 3 years, has anything improved or changed on those fields? Thanks
Aug. 21, 2024 NYGNYY	Topic: Bats Discussion: Soda Pop It’s my go to bat. I used it in Rocky Mountain this past weekend. I have 2 grey wigs, 2 Sin City and a Blue Grass. Have to put more swings on the Blue Grass before I comment but I’m a Short Porch guy.
March 22, 2024 NYGNYY	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Tourney Results Plus one…great job Thanks
Feb. 20, 2024 NYGNYY	Topic: Bats Discussion: Senior Bats I highly recommend you look at Short Porch’s lineup of senior bats and YouTube videos. IMO they are the best out there.
Feb. 3, 2024 NYGNYY	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Baden Senior Softball I recall sometime last year there was some discussion about the Baden Senior Softball cover. The ball performance is fine IMO however it gets slick and dirty in a very short period of time. In most cases our team just buys additional replacements. Wasn’t Baden working on improving the cover?
Jan. 8, 2024 NYGNYY	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Commitment Line question This question comes up in our local league all the time. And we use both 65 and 70 foot bases. Can’t wait to get the answer on this one.
Dec. 4, 2023 NYGNYY	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Softballs Agree Webbie and you crushed it as usual. Nick Copperhealth
Dec. 4, 2023 NYGNYY	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Softballs This past weekend I played in a local tournament in Tucson. A rumor was going around about a new softball for 2024. That the Baden was being replaced, any truth to this rumor? I like the Baden performance but the cover sucks IMO.
