The syco cover ones aren't bad. Pro TAC sucks. I believe they have a contract with with like wsl but I'm not 100% sure on that.

Thanks appreciate your response.
From what I notice the cover on the protac rips when you look at them funny

not all GSL or USSSA Hotdots are 52/300 infact most Hotdots in Ohio and MI are 40/325 the same as the Extreme Gold dots just the different cover. you need to read the letters on the ball UHC12SY (UHC12SYG for GSL) are 40/325 if they are UHC12CY (UHC12CYG for GSL) then they are 52/300

They are not hot dots if they're 40/325.

So we lasted only a season of GSL. Can't wait to see what the director pushes us to next.
Those 40 325 balls were absolute rocks in Michigan during the fall.

I'm sorry I guess as a director for GSL I dont know what I am talking about. I guess the 45 min chat with Worth never happend. If i didnt give you the different codes for the ball to look them up yourself and see what the ball was.... here i'll do it for you

uhd12sy is a 40/325 yes this is a USSSA ball only differance is GSL would be uhd12syg the g is for GSL...


uhd12cy is a 52/300


go ahead click the links and check it out for your self... this is why when i run tournaments that are hot dot only I have to say which balls are aloud.... oh yea the Extremes they are 40/325 also :) its the same ball just a different cover.

First, don't link to a competitor's sure here. Second, don't think we don't see where you changed the model number.

Hey, look at that, the balls you reference are all 52/275 classic pluses and not classic ms. I'm shocked.

I assume what you think I said is that there are no gsl hot dots, which is not what I said. I have owned them. I was one of the first people to buy them in this area to try and keep our balls in the yard because the classic m is a completely stupid ball.

In his defense, the competitor he linked has it wrong on their site. I mean, nobody else does, but that one retailer does so they probably are more accurate than worth and utrip about their own balls.

my info was not from google it was from talking with worth.. and a hotdot is not always a 52/275 bc hot dots are not even 52/275 they are 52/300. You can say what you want but as a company I would like to know what I am selling. Call Worth and ask they will tell you everything that I have just said because I have already talked with them. And I have never changed any code. I am reading them strait from the ball.. inless you are talking about adding the G on the end which only means GSL stamp not USSSA stamp.... does not change the ball.

The back to back posts above where you changed the model number from uhc12sy to uhd12sy are inches above this if you want to reread them .

I also don't want to talk to a worth sales associate. I just read the definition of a classic plus ball on utrips website, their rule book, etc. It takes the human error portion down a lot.

i see what you are saying and that was just a mistake of the wrong key being hit... there is no ball that is UHC12sy sorry for the typo. I am waiting on the Email from Worth so I can screen shot it for everyone. I went ahead and called them again to make light of this issue with what the balls are.

You should read utrips new designs if the different types of balls for 2017. It's almost comical how they have temperature guidelines for the classic plus, to least effected by temp of all three balls, but no such thing for the other two. They can't match the plus obviously, but can you imagine how bad the m would be if it couldn't exceed 400 compression at 40 degrees? The plus is listed as 52 Cor and no more than 375 compression and no less than 225 compression from 40 degrees to 100 degrees
