| Feb. 28, 2019 Hondaf2003 | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: New to Orlando area Red Bug Lake park in Winter Springs , FL every Saturday morning, 830-12 noon.All the seniors are out there. This is the best place to connect |
| March 29, 2018 Hondaf2003 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Dudley Lift 12" Snior Bat Would like inputs and first impressions regarding the new Dudley Lift 12 inch senior softball bat. Early reviews are not favorable. As a long time fan of this bat I find that incredible because of its proven past performance . Thanks in advance. |
| Dec. 7, 2017 Hondaf2003 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Worth Wicked Today I unwrapped my new Worth Wicked 27 oz and proceeded to take 90 swings using the Evil BP ORANGE and White softballs. First impressions after the 90 swings is that NO, the bat is not hot out of the wrapper. The sweet spot is absolutely huge and the handle is a good super stiff. The experts assure me that another 50 swings will cinch the power from this bat. It isn't a Dudley 12 inch End Load Lightning inasfar as hot out of the wrapper, but the sweet spot more than makes up for it as well as the stiff flex in the handle which I like better than the Dudley. All in all it's a good bat , maybe great. We shall see |
| April 16, 2017 Hondaf2003 | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Looking to play in Orlando Florida Best way to find a team is to show up on Saturday mornings at Red Bug Lake park in Winter Springs. All the 50's players in the area show up as well as managers of the 50's teams. You will no doubt latch on to some team there. Keep in mind that this Upcoming Saturday, all the 50's are playing in Lakelans so there may not be many 50's there. Good luck |
| Feb. 27, 2017 Hondaf2003 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Senior Spring training in Vero Beach March 10-12 Probably the best way to put it is, you will feel bad Sunday morning when it's your last day, and you realize it's coming to a close. The comradarie you develop over three days is most of the value |
| Feb. 16, 2017 Hondaf2003 | Topic: Bats Discussion: REPAIRING BROKEN BATS Not sure this helps, but instead of repairing a bat do a little preventive. By that I mean before the bat ever gets to the point of breaking, have someone take end cap of and add a reinforcement layer inside. I have an OG Dudley 13" , 29oz which I think I have 4000 plus swings on it and it's still going strong. I took it to a bat specialist when the end cap came off . This was a common issue with the original Dudleys. When we took a look inside you could see the flaking and the inside just coming apart. I asked if it could be cleaned up and have a thin layer placed inside to strengthen it. HE said he could and 4000 plus swings later the Dudley is great. I use it ,mainly for BP as I now use the Dudley 12", 28 oz- an absolute game changing bat. Anyway that is my advice if you have a bat you really , really like. Just preserve it by doing a preventive. It has worked for me |
| April 2, 2015 Hondaf2003 | Topic: Bats Discussion: REPAIRING BROKEN BATS Well today in Orlando I got the opportunity to get out on the field and put into action all the things I learned from Spring Training 2015; the flute grasp of the bat, staying still in the batters box, hands up, look at the part of the ball you want and take your swing. I kept hitting home run after home run. It felt great. Additionally I have my bands and three pound weights. I was amazed how sore I was the day after using those exercise tools. I have become a student of the game and it's paying off. Once again thanks to Alan and his staff! |
| March 30, 2015 Hondaf2003 | Topic: Bats Discussion: REPAIRING BROKEN BATS I have to say the experience in Vero Beach this past weekend was a memorable experience. I woke up everyday at 430am to commute to Sebastian not only to play and get better but to be with the people who only a day earlier we're strangers.. Lynn and I are very much looking forward to not only next year but I am trying to convince Alan to put on another similar event in the Fall. Say after the World Series. I know Lynn and I would attend. Thank you to Alan and his wonderful staff., not only for enriching my knowledge of the game but for enriching our lives! |
| July 2, 2014 Hondaf2003 | Topic: Bats Discussion: BEST ASA BAT I am a Miken fan, and the best ASA bat that I have ever used is the Miken Triad Maxload ASA. I use a 34/28 and I have been crushing the ball with it; all types of balls. It is a two-piece and has an incredible trampoline effect! |
| June 2, 2014 Hondaf2003 | Topic: Bats Discussion: MIKEN TRIAD BLACKOUT SEHIOR BAT Thx to all posts. Looking forward to getting my new 34/29 Ultra II. Playing in a FLHC SOFTBALL later on in June in West Palm Beach. Will have bat broken-in hopefully and not just broken. |
| June 1, 2014 Hondaf2003 | Topic: Bats Discussion: MIKEN TRIAD BLACKOUT SEHIOR BAT Actually the bat feels tremendous in your hands; the handle, the weight28oz), the two pieces, etc. I changed the grip to the lizard skin making it feel even better. The performance is honestly no better than the same bat with the new ASA logo; I have both as I still play ASA. I can't say that it needs to be broken-in, as I have many, many cuts on it. It just doesn't have the same distance as the Ultra II. I liked the Ultra II so much I immediately bought one to be my game bat. |
| June 1, 2014 Hondaf2003 | Topic: Bats Discussion: MIKEN TRIAD BLACKOUT SEHIOR BAT I bought my Blackout back in February and I have hit it since in tournaments and in practice. In my opinion it is as broken in as its going to get and still their is little difference if any the my Miken Triad Maxload ASA. In the interim I have swung other bats that teamates have let me use and have been truly impressed. The number one being the Miken UltraII and to a lesser extent with Miken Ultra II Maxload. Both are superior bats and are hands down better than the Blackout. My three month warranty just expired in May 2014 and have already ordered my own UltraII; 34/29. Don't get me wrong , its a nice bat but its NO Ultra II. If I could sell it I would, but after 3 months it would be too much of a loss. |
