| March 2, 2019 ju25 | Topic: Bats Discussion: What bats are allowed????????? The bat must have a bpf stamp of 1.21 or lower, the new ASA bats do not have the bpf on them and are illegal. Older ASA bats with the 1.20 bpf on them are okay. USSSA bats have the 1.20 bpf on the thumb print. Click on Bat Policy above. |
| March 1, 2019 ju25 | Topic: Bats Discussion: DUDLEY 2019 LIGHTNING HOTW Call me a cheap ass, but I will not pay over $170(Worth Wicked) for a no return bat. My gamer is still an OG Combat DaBomb purchased in '05 and ready for it's 14th season(no BP after 50 swings, Tournaments only). I own 18 Senior bats and have paid under $100 for the majority of them. I have only broken 6 bats in 13 years 3 Barrages(80 bucks a piece), Worth 454( Worth replaced under 200 swings), 2 Combat Centenarians($100 each ). IMO it is not worth the $100+ for an extra 10-20'. My purchases this offseason were a Wicked($100), TPS HyperZ 1pc ($79), and a Combat Maxum 1pc. ($50). In my 55+ Can-Am league the majority are swinging Adidas & Dudley with good results. I had a Dudley & Reebok ($145 ea) but sold both because I didn't care for the feel. |
| March 1, 2019 ju25 | Topic: Bats Discussion: DUDLEY 2019 LIGHTNING HOTW If I buy a Dudley from you(Elite Sports) and it prematurely breaks are you or Dudley going to replace bat or give me my money back. You really think these guys who are breaking bats are out to get Dudley. $200+ for a no warranty bat is robbery. |
| Jan. 7, 2019 ju25 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Best bat-ball combinations I have hit the 52/300 balls with bats from all associations and my senior bats still hit them the best. The difference is not as much as it used to be but there is still a difference. For me senior bats are about 10'-20' further than USSSA and 15'-25' ASA. My Border Battle Helmer, Freakzilla, Border Battle Legit, and Flipper USA all hang with my USSSA bats when hitting 52/300 balls. Good thing about hitting 52/300 balls with senior bats is the bats will last a lot longer, but if you hit newer ASA bats with 44/375 balls your bat will not last very long. |

| Dec. 10, 2018 ju25 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Soft Toss Machine I have gone thru 2 Wilson soft toss and am on my second Ultimate ball toss machine. My 1st Wilson lasted a couple years until spring broke and piece spring attached to came loose, my second lasted 2 years until the flipper that tosses the balls broke in half. My first UBTM lasted about a year then had an internal electrical problem(still works but have to mess with it), the last one has just gone thru it's first season and is going strong. I love these machines for breaking in bats, I can get about 100 swings in an hour. I have to set it up on milk crates to get height but that works fine for me. Good way to get in some swings if you don't have a bp partner, but it messes with my timing a little bit. I paid $150 each and bought a hitting net so I don't have to leave my yard(200 swings in hour). I also am on my second pop toss, first one spring messed up but they replaced whole machine. I do not care for the pop toss because it is to erratic, balls never go the same twice but it is closer to real pitching than the soft toss. |

| Aug. 28, 2018 ju25 | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Looking for a team in SE MI or NW OH This was my 10th year of playing in the Can-Am league. We used to play at fields in Oak Park, Warren, Dearborn, Taylor, and Livonia. The Oak Park & Warren teams now play out of Livonia. As of last year our teams were Woodlawn Hit Club(Taylor), Detroit Stars(Livonia), Livonia Tigers, Bench Pub(Livonia)Triple Crown(Dearborn), and Windsor Chiefs. This is a very good league with many Hall of Fame & tournament players. Dearborn, Mi. hasn't had an over 50 league in 5 years and their over 40 is USSSA. |
| Aug. 28, 2018 ju25 | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Looking for a team in SE MI or NW OH I play in the Can_Am league and it is a very good league. It is a morning travel league (10:00 am) with teams from Windsor, Dearborn, Taylor, and 3 teams from Livonia. It is a 55+ league but each team may have one 54 year old. We usually play on Tues/Thurs, 9 inning games, but this year we played doubleheaders on Thurs. Season began in mid May and ended last week. Leagues on this site are not up to date. Sylvania has great fields! |

| March 5, 2018 ju25 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Are you serious. What is the compression number for a 1.21 bpf , I know it is 220 for 1.20. How are senior bats tested? I was under the impression that we used the old test, out of wrapper and center of barrel(sweetspot) vs. Advanced break in(ABI) 500 or so swings(not sure on number) and the whole barrel. Had a Geezer tested a few years back that came in around 215 and it was not the hottest bat in my bag. |
