    When is this coming to softball?

    We have been using mats in our senior leagues for years. I hated it at first, but like everything in life, you just need to adjust. Find out what pitch you like (high low outside inside) and just adjust in the box. I see several guys crow hopping now so they can get the pitch where they want it...

    Headbanger 1 piece Tantrum

    If it fails you can still use it in league ball. At least here in Maryland, they don't check that stuff..... only in tourneys.

    Best choices for USA/ASA bats

    I had a friend that ordered a Monsta 2 years ago and he didn't get it until 4 months later. It's a great bat for the mush balls, but the Louisville's are just as good IMO.

    New USSSA bats for 2025

    Yes I do prefer the discounted bats like you stated above. I've had a few friends that have sold me on the Juno bats. I do know a code to get a discount, but not seeing the high price that you referenced above. I believe the Juno bats will be in the $279 range. I will use the discount and that...

    Best choices for USA/ASA bats

    For me I don't think I could get used to the flared handle and only hitting the bat on one side. They do seem to be popular especially for hitting the 52's. I swung one years ago. It hit pretty well, but the feel of the bat wasn't for me.

    Best choices for USA/ASA bats

    I haven't played ASA/USA for 2 years now, but I hear the new Axe bats crush the 52's.

    First Louisville releases of 2025!!!

    I will give a completely honest assessment of my experience with the 2024 LS APG. I have no affiliation with any company. I bought the APG last season. I did do the 25 swings with 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% effort ascending like stated on their web-site with 52 cor softballs. I only hit the harder...

    New USSSA bats for 2025

    I'm leaning towards the new Juno bats for 2025.

    New USSSA bats for 2025

    I 100% agree. Those are two of the worst bats in slowpitch softball. Might as well put the Easton Hammer in there as well.

    New USSSA bats for 2025

    Just a fyi......Sma****sports has quite a few discounted bats on sale. Most are $99, but some a little more. I picked up a BP bat last year when they had this type of clearance. Doing a lot of BP last season, the $99 BP bat really saved my gamers.

    Headbanger 1 piece Tantrum

    Is this the new one that is blue that Andrew Collins is swinging now???

    New USSSA bats for 2025

    Yeah, I saw the new KP23 2 piece demoed and it failed at around 100 swings. The bat was smokin' hot, but failed just like the 1 piece Tantrums of last year. I have watched many demo's and have a really good idea what bat I will buy. Just waiting on the new 2025 releases. I believe the bat I want...

    New USSSA bats for 2025

    Did you fix the paint seams and the sound? I can live with the sound, but don't like the paint seams.

    New USSSA bats for 2025

    I have a APG from 2024 and it hits great. The issue for me is what you described above, the hollow sound and the paint seams. I'm looking forward to the new models......release date???????

    2012-Era Utrip Bats vs. newer 220s vs. newer 240s

    I agree with TW's assessment above on bats. Also, the new 240 bats do get hot pretty quickly like TW stated. Most are NOT meant to be BP bats. If you are trying to get a bat that will last amongst the 240's, you can't BP the bat. Just get in broken in and use it for games. I have 2 game bats...

    New USSSA bats for 2025

    I liked Combat bats in the past. I would like to get the Combat CR-1 Mint Militia bat if they ever get any in stock.

    Hottest ASA/USA for 2025 just dropped

    No. I'm saying that our open leagues use the 52 cor 300 comp softballs and my USSSA bats performed better than the USA/ASA bats with that ball. You shouldn't swing USA/ASA bats with the 44 cores as it will take the life out of the bat and break earlier. I wish they would allow us to use senior...

    New USSSA bats for 2025

    Does anyone have any information on 2025 USSSA release bats/dates? I'm hoping it's just not a year of repaints.

    Hottest ASA/USA for 2025 just dropped

    I'm so glad I don't have to swing ASA/USA bats any longer. Our senior league uses 44 cor softballs and most here swing USSSA bats. I've owned several ASA/USA bats in the past and didn't think any of them were as good as the USSSA bats. Just my $.02.
