| Feb. 24, 2019 Onion Men's 50 7 posts | Softballs A few questions about softballs: Does the softball we used have to have the senior league endorsement? Where do you purchase the softballs? Any recommendations on which brand to use? Could we use ASA or USSSA approves softballs in tournament play? Thanks, Elwin |
| Feb. 24, 2019 TimMcElroy 931 posts | If you are playing in an SSUSA sanctioned qualifier you must hit their STOTE ball (44/375), complete with the SSUSA stamp. You'll receive 6 balls at check-in at most tournaments and have the opportunity to buy additional balls on-site. Call the national office during normal hours if you'd like to purchase larger quantities of balls for a league or bp. Hope this helps- |

| July 17, 2019 17Black Men's 60 414 posts | FYI I'm only asking because I "think" ISA uses Trump "Rocks" |
| July 17, 2019 DaveDowell Men's 70 4248 posts | 17Black ... I "think" that was at least partially true last year with The Rock (some Rock and some 'other' in use, depending on the park?) ... Jerry Jackson doesn't "do" this Message Board, but maybe Nancy Allen can comment ... She served as a Director last year ... If they didn't use the official SSUSA/ISA ball, what we don't know is if that decision was a "policy" or "inventory availability" driven decision ... Good luck, no matter what you're hitting! ... |
| July 17, 2019 17Black Men's 60 414 posts | OK Thank You Dave, I guess we will see when we get there. |
| July 17, 2019 Nancy Allen Men's 55 1434 posts | 17Black, Dave is right that two years ago that there were not enough Stotes, and Dunn passed out Rocks while Lincoln passed out Stotes. Yes, the look on my face was probably priceless when I saw a Rock. Last year the balls were the ISA balls, Worth Super Gold Dot Extreme which were 44/400s. Let's just say the players were really happy. I did send Jerry a message, and he gave me a priceless Jerry answer. My guess would be the ISA ball. If I find out before the tournament, I will post. |
| July 17, 2019 17Black Men's 60 414 posts | Thanks Nancy, long time no see :( |
| July 17, 2019 Nancy Allen Men's 55 1434 posts | 17Black, I have missed you and your team. Hopefully I will see you there. I am probably at Dunn. |
| July 17, 2019 17Black Men's 60 414 posts | We're back :) Quite a few different faces than 2016. Let's play ball. |
| July 18, 2019 Nancy Allen Men's 55 1434 posts | 17Black, things change, and we keep getting older. I wish you the best of luck in the tournament. |
