I didn't think you could get the Freak Plus for $150 or less.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I believe it's the 12" model.

I was referring to the person who suggested the White Steel.

Where can you a brand new one for $150 (must be a store)

Let me be more clear. The company is paying for it, so it needs to $150 or less NIW from a reputable dealer. The 585 or Recoil for instance would be bought from the softballfans store. Next year they might switch divisions to one that uses a better ball (I don't remember exactly, but it's...

My company team (not very competitive) is looking to get a new bat for the upcoming season. The budget I've been told to stick to is $150. The hard part is that the league uses clinchers. I was looking at the 585, Recoil, Virus Enhanced, but I'm open to others. It must be purchased from a...

^^^ When you lower your shoulder to knock the fielder down, you're just asking for an ejection. If you're going to run into the guy to make the obstruction call obvious to the lesser umps, don't try to knock the guy down. Just bring attention to the contact.

You're just asking for an obstruction call if the runner decides to make a turn correctly. If he runs through, then great, otherwise you will likely impede the progress of the runner (if he knows how to run the bases) and a good ump will signal for obstruction. You might just give the runner a...

It's not the general consensus that the rule is BS, it's just that guy. He wants to fight with the umps about enforcing the rule correctly. If he doesn't like it, take it up with the proper association's representatives. That's not the umpire. Arguing with the guys enforcing the rules will...

Assuming he's playing even w/ the bag, it's only about 15 ft. If the pitcher back pedals, it's then around 10ft, maybe less. That's not taking into account that the pitcher can be 6 feet behind the rubber when he releases the ball.

Maybe you should learn the strike zone:eek: Also, if you don't think the 3rd baseman is strongly impacted from the use of shaved bats you're insane.

I've only broken 1 composite bat within a year, but I'm not a masher by any stretch of the imagination. I have 3 utrip bats and I'll be surprised if I break even 2 of them before the ban takes affect. If I manage to break the scx23 before the ban, I'll be shocked. Those things are tanks. I...

If someone is aiming for a fielder and not open space, they're not very bright. They might aim in their general direction, but hitting it right at a fielder is never a good idea. I'm not saying every error is on a play that is made 99% of the time. Maybe 99% is too high, so let's say 75%...

Damn, never even knew that existed. How short a barrel and how many do you have?

There has been no proof of NSA making a change? That's straight out of the rule book.

I'm all for it as well, just explaining why people have an issue with it. I was playing 1st base the other day with a lefty at the plate w/ a shaved bat (no actual proof of it, but you could tell and guys that played with him in the past thought so as well). I don't like being put in that...

Take into account that some guys have dozens. If I look at the 12 regulars on my team we have roughly 24 bats. Some guys have none, most have at least 1 and some have 3-5. All the tourney players on my league team have at least 3 bats. Look at the guys in this thread that have bats in...

Unless you take advantage of someone on ebay, it will be harder to sell usssa bats because most people on this site (where most people buy/sell/trade said bats) are already aware of the rule changes. I've been playing regularly since 2004 and I've only broken 2 composite bats (I went through a...

This is how I've always seen score book issues resolved. But that only works if someone there has basic reasoning skills.:eek:

Look, I don't think anyone (except the cheaters) has a problem with what they are trying to do. How they appear to be going about it is what people are complaining about. I'm guessing, but your typical league player probably has between 0-2 legal bats. Chances are that within the next 2...
