This is the first one I saw available to the public. I got it from Softball Sales in ‘92/‘93. It’s the best bat I ever used but I believe got banned. It has a slight indent but in rather good shape. The Ultimate Weapon was garbage compared to the DDW.

From what I gather the bats passed initial testing but after play they didn’t maintain the compression all new bats are suppose to. I think some of the Suncoast are now clear for play. Most of the barrels are made in China so you don’t really know what you have until they arrive.

The runner to second is pretty much going to third on a throw to first so I never throw behind the runner.

The scoreboard can show whatever but the ump should have the score and inning noted and verified with both scorekeepers.

The game was made for the players not the umps but the ump has to squash anything from getting out of hand. Going back years the team I was on was into the playoffs and one of our players just kept pushing it towards the ump and he didn’t make a scene or even get vocal but that ended our...

If a player or manager tries to get on an umpire then that isnt going to end well for them. If you’re trying to disrespect me then you won’t get calls and pitches in your favor. I learned a long time ago to don’t show disrespect to umps.

It should be from the end of the barrel to the beginning of the taper. If it doesn’t measure right then they’re just making specs. I’m going to measure my Anarchy bats because they say 12 but look and swing like 10’s.

Done playing. My mind said one more year but my body said no you’re not.

I prefer higher in the order because it means more at-bats but in the end it really doesn’t matter because I’ll be productive. It’s just the head scratchers by a manager to put guys 1-3, with 3 being your best RBI guy, that aren’t productive other than being in the coaches ear or a Buddy.

I’ve had an injection in my neck for a nerve injury and it hasn’t bothered me. I have one knee bothering me now that I have to get looked at. Getting old is not fun.

I’m a team player but play the game my way. I don’t want any chatter from the team while I’m at-bat. You need to focus on putting that stuff out of your head.

My father pitched unlimited arc in the 70’s and I’m glad that wasn’t around when I started playing in the 80’s. I could see a no-hitter in unlimited but not in average 6-12 play.

Quite embarrassing for the other team since softball is a hitters game. I was part of a no hitter in modified ball in the early 90’s but that’s definitely more of a pitchers game.

The arm movement could come across as not being illegal but the ball was flat or came across high for why it wasn’t called a strike. A verbal call let’s everyone know clearly.

The 240 bats seem pretty good but the consistency of the Pro M has been terrible. Even the seniors complained they were socks but considering they all come from overseas there’s really no oversight on them.
