| Dec. 7 playball5 22 posts | cold weather bats Is there a senior bat that holds up to temperatures under 60 degrees?Playing next weekend in Hemet.8:00 a.m. games will probably be 40 to 50 degrees or colder. |
| Dec. 7 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | cold weather bats Personally I'd say NO if you have any sort of power. Or anything for that matter. Don't forget the balls get HARDER. a pretty good example might be to try hitting a croquet ball with one and see how long it lasts. I don't recommend using a good bat for that though. |

| Dec. 8 leftyfalcon Men's 65 158 posts | cold weather bats I've used my senior combats in tourneys with temps. below 60 degrees. The Majority of bat companys no matter if open or senior bats do not want you to use their bats when temps are under 60 degrees. Senior bats are not meant to be used for bp after break in period. Eastons hit well in cold weather. Just my input. |
| Dec. 8 playball5 22 posts | cold weather bats If the bats are kept warm the cold balls will still do damage.Thanks for the information. |
| Dec. 8 PJ3P Men's 50 94 posts | cold weather bats The 52 300 is the best option in cooler weather. It is not nearly as affected by the temperature. |
| Dec. 8 DonB 48 posts | cold weather bats I swung the 2pc fossil in March in Florida when the temp was around 50 degrees with no problems.I'm not a masher but was able to bounce the ball off of a fence 300ft away.Played in 4 games and teammates and me hit bp before every game.We were using 44/375's.Bat is still going strong today. |
| Dec. 8 boston Men's 60 355 posts | cold weather bats I just played in a scrimmage game here in southern NM where it is usaully very comfortable. The temps were in the low 30's with the wind chill. Most of us brought out our USSSA bats to use. A couple of guys actually used their Combat Centenarians. I was shocked the bats did not crack at all. I would never use a senior bat in these types of temps. In fact, I didn't even take out my gamer USSSA bat. These guys either lucked out or the Centenarian is a duarble bat. |
