| April 20, 2018 JamesLG 420 posts | New softball Hi All: Just checking to see when that new SSUSA softball will be put into action. There are some good tournaments coming up so it would be nice to have the new ball by the time these get going. I understood the shipment was delayed for a while but by now they should have been delivered. Thanks: James |

| April 20, 2018 Fred S Men's 85 297 posts | Just ordered a doz online and said shipping on 04/20 |
| April 27, 2018 JamesLG 420 posts | Thanks: Yup, I know customs can be a bear but these softballs have been on the way for quite a few weeks. There is also some high level tournaments approaching so it would be nice to have all the new changes in place. Thanks: James |
| April 27, 2018 AustinPawPaw#14 7 posts | Fred S, Where did you order the new official SSUSA balls from? Donnie |
| April 27, 2018 Fred S Men's 85 297 posts | I ordered from BSN but you have to click on it through the link on this sites home page. When you log on their is and ad for BSN. I haven't got them yet or notified of being shipped so I guess the boat hasn't come in yet. |
| May 1, 2018 Phoenix26 21 posts | Hey Fred S Which ball on BSN is the right one? Model number? |
| May 2, 2018 Fred S Men's 85 297 posts | TRUMP" SSUSA12"-Leather, It looks like they canceled my order as it is marked rejected in the shipping column. |
| May 10, 2018 Fred S Men's 85 297 posts | Found out why I never got mine. I marked P.O. instead of Credit Card which is why it was rejected. Re-ordered and they are on their way. |
| May 12, 2018 Fred S Men's 85 297 posts | I should have mine Tue. Can't wait to try them. |
| May 14, 2018 JamesLG 420 posts | Hi Fred: If you get yours Tuesday I hope SSUSA gets their soon also. It was 85 this weekend and the Stote even sounded like a mush ball. Will be great to see what difference the new ball makes. Thanks: James |
| May 14, 2018 Whitey58 28 posts | Fred if u ordered Ssusa balls from BSN the only ones they have are Trump Stotes I talked with SSUSA last week and they wont have the new balls till the end of June. I do not think anyone has the new balls yet. |
| May 14, 2018 Fred S Men's 85 297 posts | We will know in the morning. I will be sadly disappointed if that is the case. |
| May 15, 2018 Fred S Men's 85 297 posts | Whitey58: Your right they are the Stotes. Now I have a problem. Do I send them back as based on history they won't work very well in my Wheeler Dealer. The combination of synthetic cover and MC is a bad combination for the WD. Or do I open a couple and try them which probably if they don't work I am stuck with them. |
| June 5, 2018 Fred S Men's 85 297 posts | I am confused on this ball. I ordered a doz "Trump SSUSA12" Leather" ball from BSN (click on their ad on home page). Confirmation said that is what I am getting. When I opened the box they were STOTE AK-MC-SS's with a composite cover which I didn't want. The Invoice and packing slip said Trump SSUSA12 Leather. I got an email this morning requesting me to review product. I went to review the product to say I haven't used them yet and neither ball is listed anymore. I am not sure what to do with these balls. Reason I wanted Leather cover is that a composite cover combined with Micro-Cell don't work very well in my Wheeler Dealer. For an example Alan's MCT softballs are great but they don't toss very well in my WD. |
| June 12, 2018 JamesLG 420 posts | Does anybody have any idea when SSUSA will be putting this new ball into play at the larger tournaments? It is nearly July with some important tourneys right around the corner in some hot weather areas and still no sign of the new improved softball. What gives? Thank You: James |
| June 12, 2018 spoonplugger Men's 60 95 posts | They might be in the same hiding place as the winter national scores , etc. |
| June 13, 2018 NYGNYY 215 posts | The "new ball Stote Micro Cell" has been used in the FHC league for the past 2 months with the SSUSA logo. So the ball is available, thus it is a business decision to use existing inventory of old balls. End of story! |
| June 23, 2018 NYGNYY 215 posts | Summer is official here! Where are the approved NEW SSUSA softballs? Any update would be appreciated by the directors/officers. They are in FL so they still can't be on the boat unless they are being shipped via the Mississippi. Thanks |
| June 23, 2018 JamesLG 420 posts | The new ball is also being used in our league on the west coast. We are playing in a qualifier this weekend and the ball is a big topic of discussion. Everybody seems to have them except SSUSA. All I can tell you is the fact we are still using the old ball when the new one is radially available make you wonder how honest SSUSA has been to us customers. Thank You: James |
