You're kidding right? This is USSSA Worlds we are talking about here?
No mandatory bat testing for all bats brought onto the fields?
I don't see as much in Leagues or Tournaments here as we used to
but there is still a few around and you usually can tell.
My vote is for the Extended but you can't go wrong with either
hitting harder balls. Just compression tested my Flex this
morning at the fields for playoff games, not even close to broken in.
Same bat/barrel, slightly different taper .
:mod:Tournament Bat Check List::mod:
1.) Rattles?
2.) End cap wear?
3.) Any Spirals/Webbing/Delaminating?
4.) Any wear on stamp(s)?
5.) Bat testing sticker(s)? (if tested)
6.) Any "modifications"?
U need go to either the Regional SW forum on here or go to Lonestar softball for tournament pickups. I rarely play tournament ball anymore, cost and time commitments are too high and summer heat + intentional middle shots here are potential killers. Fights among pickup team-mates and brawls on...
