What's so good about GSL that sets it apart from other sanctions ?
It's a hybrid of the best parts of other sanctions:
- designated HR hitters. If you walk the HR hitter, you get a freebie HR
- Good ball. Apex 52/375 (I think)
- NSA Length bases
- 5-10' arc w/ juking and 5' grace off the mound
GSL is for the hitters. It really concentrates on the offense versus the other sanctions which seem to want more defense than anything else. Instead of deadening the ball, they enhanced it. Instead of removing HR's, they add HR's.
I like it a lot. Not because it's a local sanction, but because I know when we play GSL we get to have fun. When we play USSSA, it's like pulling teeth with restricting HR's and using a cotton-filled Hot Dot ball.
Give it a shot. You will like it. If you hate it, then don't play it again.
