Discussion: Your opinion on best Senior Bat

Bats are like gas in a car.
Most any car will do 75 mph with unleaded gas.
Most 50 year old senior ball players can hit Bombs with any senior Bat.
The person makes all the difference, technique and Strength!!!!!!!!!
Larry Carter at 6ft 6 and 255 with perfect technique and in great shape is going to murder the ball.
Spend time working out, work on the hitting muscels and learning from the Best hitters out there.

Discussion: DeMarini Senior ONE Endload

Been Playing With Az Elite Sponsored By Demarini For a Few Years. I Love The One, The Blue End Load. When We First Got Them I Hit Ok, I Bought A Demarini ASA Juggernant, Same Weight Same Barrel Size. Using It For Leagues And Batting Practice Really Perfected My Timing. For Me That Made The Difference, I Had Hit One Piece Bats For 25 Years. Now It Feels Perfect. Jerry with Demarini Asked Our Team What We Wanted End Load Wise, Wow. GREAT BAT FROM 2013 YELLOW TO Build The 2014 BLUE. And Its Not Just The Senior Bat. I Feel I Hit The ASA Bat 97% As Hard As The Senior Bat. THEIR BATS ASA / USSSA / SENIOR ARE ALL SICK!!!!!!!
Playing Usssa With My Son In St George, An Umpire Called Me Out For The Bat, He Thought It Was A Senior Bat. The Pitcher Laughed And Said, He Wouldn't Have Said Anything If You Hadn't hIt It So Hard.
I WAS DUMB I HAD A DEMARINI WITH A STAMP, IT WAS LEAGAL IN BOTH ASA AND USSSA, THIS ONE WAS ONLY LEGAL IN ASA, MY BAD.
When You Hit Behind Larry Carter And See Him Launching Bombs In Games And Batting Practice. 480 Ft Is The Farthest Ive Stepped Off That He's Hit. YOU KNOW THE BATS NOT BAD.

Discussion: Hitting

Think of a tennis player like Pete Sampras.
He has complete control of acuracy, top spin or back spin. Their good shoots are inches from a line and they do it for hours.
Softball
The Holes are 15 to 100 ft wide, if you have Ball control to put the ball any where you want within in a few feet it would be hard to get that guy out.
Playing softball for 35 + years, I notice that many Ball Players use only 1 or 2 places to hit.
If you showed up playing golf with only 1 or 2 clubs your limited.
My therory
Perfect one at a time
A Middle shot, 3 ft to the left or right
Gap 3rd short
First second
Power HR
Gaps center right left
If you had a gun, you could hit any hole any time, effortlessly.
If you had a Bow and Arrow you could hit any hole.
A Bat ?
If you control the pitch choice, swing at the first good pitch that lets you go where you want, you are choosing a good pitch to hit and control.
If you take a strike, you are now trying to Hit the junk Ball the pitcher is giving after hes ahead. Your ability to control a junk ball is alot lower.
Are you a smarter hitter or is he a smarter pitcher?
Next choose a Great Bat, like the Demarini!!!!

Az Elite
Were Sponsored By Demarini
I asked for A 27 And A 28.
Ollie And I Played With 55+ Demolition In Hemit. We Both Hit The 28 Oz, Wow Great Bat Great Power. It Got A Hair Line Crack After 30 Swings But No Change in Power Or Tone, Just Keep Hitting It. Ollie Hit Several Balls At The Top Of The Light Poles. Since Ive Played 6 Weekends, 4 Guys On Az Elite Swing My Bat. We Had A Demo Batting Practice for Anyone Wanting To Try Them. At Least 100 swings were put on my 28. The 28s hair line crack is still 3 inches Long, Greg with On Old School Asked To Swing It. His Bomb At The Lights Was Acceptable And Dan Hit A Homer after having a slow Day. I also Pitched 125 Balls To Cliff For BP. He Loved It and was pounding the Ball. Chuck Stacy A Miken Addict That Breaks A Bat Every Other Weekend When He Was Playing Alot, Hit A # rn Homer And Wow Great Bat!!.
I would Say It Is Hands Down The Best Senior Bat Ive Had!!!!!!!!!!
The First Weekend i got them, Don Long Pitcher For North West Legends. We Hit At CCV. A Young 28 year Old Friend Had Hit The Block Wall Across The Street (400) Ft, I Drooled at the Thought Of Doing It Too. With The 28 Oz, I hit 6 Balls In A Row that Hit The Sidewalk Or The Wall. O Yea Just Remembered My Son Matt In Masquite Nv On The Baseball Field, I Let Him Hit It About 35 Swings. He's A 27 Years Old That Hits A Usssa Bat 350 - 400 Ft. He Thinks Their Crazy For Letting Us Swing Senior Bats. Last Detail Most of the Mikens And Rebocks Ive Had Lasted About 25 to 300 swings and only hitting Rocks and Trump Balls. Harder Balls Killed The Bats!!!, I Broke 6 Bats The First Year Playing Senior Ball With Cjs.
I Was pitching Much Harder League Balls To Cliff And The Bp Guys.
The Blue End Loaded (One) Is Sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!
