If you're playing over 50 tournaments I think Suncoast makes the best senior bats. For regular utrip I kinda like the Juno MR-1. The Pure bats seems decent. This was my first year playing utrip in a while plus they instituted a new standard for 2023 so I have yet to find a bat that I really like.

Anarchy all the bats!

For real though, we're at a point where everyone makes a good bat, and it's about finding what you like:
-One piece vs two piece
-Barrel length
-Weighting
-Handle flex

Asking someone what the "best bat for me is" has "What's the best beer to drink" vibes at this stage.

Anarchies are great if you don't want to spend a lot of money, yet still want good performance. Very good USSSA 240 and ASA bats.

I'm surprised more people don't swing Anarchy.

Anarchy is getting pretty big here in the Twin Cities. Of course, the fact Lyf lives about 5 minutes from me in the south Minneapolis suburbs probably helps. 🤣

You should've been here when monsta started. Dude came on here asking for feedback, building the bats in his garage which he still might be for all I know, started bashing the sbf store because they wouldn't buy his bats for 300 and sell them for 300, and then said something to utrip so they wouldn't approve his bats for a long time. I wonder how much he had to pony up to get those approved finally. Good times

I was on here under a different account then. I still won’t buy a monsta to this day because of how he was when he came on here

Well when you put it that way.... He was really good back in the day (look at his sig), which is when I moved to this area. We have a few mutual friends. Eastern PA/NJ softball isn't that big of a scene.

Condo. What’s up dude. Glad to see your back. Following your kids wrestling on your Facebook page. Maybe I’ll make it over to Palmer a few times this year for league ball. Gonna make one last run this year with evans trucking (Donnie Johnson, Jake Winsor) for ASA in PA. I think our utrip team in NJ is folding after getting bumped to B so my only option is playing with all the old drinking buddies this year for one last run. Tbh, we could use your stick.

Assuming that bump holds up.

James sent Pilla a email. They already took the bump away. That has to be the quickest reclass in utrip history.

Was it an auto bump or NCC? Also, what is NCC? I saw an E team I'm likely playing with next season got an NCC bump to D but I have no idea what that means.

They were bumped simply due to the "Deluxe" name/brand. Pilla is still a chump! Getting A and AA guys still in their prime reclassed to B so they can play C, but refuses to let my old ass with 2 f'd up knees get down.

It's not anywhere. My wife still cracks up at all the people that cheat with a teammates wife, etc. Softball is a wild scene for real
