Don't be such a good hitter. Hit 5-hoppers to SS every AB. Nobody will use your bat.
My very first season of softball I had the only bat on the team (someone else had a hammer lol) so it got used and abused every week and every BP session. It didn't break but I retired that bat after 2 seasons of team use.
The best way to handle it is to talk to them. Guy used my j2 last season popped up and threw my j2 about 20 feet straight up in the air. I simply stormed out of the dug out, cursed at him in front of everyone. And after suggesting for him to buy his own bats and never to touch mine the problem was solved...
I mean don't get me wrong I want my team to hit good, but one of the guys on my team who usually goes yard flied out, got pissed and slammed my bat down harder than he swung it at the ball.
It kinda ticked me off. Am I being a nancy and that's just part of it? Or do most guys swing their own bats or what???????
lol, quoted for truth, seems like someone hits a good shot or puts one over the fence and everyone wants to hit with the same bat.
1. If you're the unlucky guy swinging it when it breaks, we'll discuss paying for it after the game. Expect to pay half of what it would cost to replace it. If I have a gamer with 2,000 swings, I usually let everyone know that it might be on its last leg and they might want to start swinging the next one that needs to be broken in.
U can still hear the whining here..lol. Its done a lot to clean up the bat issues in the league though...its nice to see the guys that use to hit massive bombs with there 30 cut shavers now come back to reality One good thing is I am in with all the directors of the leagues and I got 2 out of the 3 to go with easton...Helmers/wegmans...so its just like hitting my gamers so I like it
but pretty much every team I play on has about 2-3 bats per person so it is not really a problem
