Need some opinions from you ASA bombers

Playing in a charity United Way tournament next month. We have to supply our own balls 12" 44/375. I have always had a preference for Dudley Thunder Advance....I see Evil now has EVIL XT ball that would work. Question is, which ball is the best available that guys have played with or against. By the way, we are able to use utrip bats for this tournament with ASA stamp. I will probably swing an SCX22 28oz with 700 swings on it.

I think the thunder advance is the best 44 375 ball ever made. Those things are freaking rocks.

Do the balls have to have the ASA stamp on them? If not there are plenty of really good multi-layer balls out there that are non association including the thunder advance. If they have to have the stamp the T/A's will be hard to find and will cost you a ton of $ and I would recommend just using a high quality ball like Tattoo, Evil or Dudley ZN or Thunder Heat.

Yes, at this point they do have to have the ASA stamp. Found some Dudley Thunder SW for a good price but wanted some feedback before buying.

Trump Stote is a great option. I've never hit an Evil ASA 44/375 but everything else they make is great so I wouldn't hesitate to get these either.

Evil makes a great ball. You better put a ton of swings on that SCX22 before then. It's a log now and will be until about 2k swings...you are better off just using a normal ASA bat instead of the SCX22.

WHITE TA's ..


After that, close but not as good is the YELLOW TA's, YELLOW TRUMP's and the EVIL's ... we are talking about 15' in distance difference and the WHITE TA's definitely get thru the infield much quicker.

How much do these go for?

I had great luck with the TA'S a few years ago. So far only finding the yellow TA'S still looking for white.

Every tournament I've played in the last 5 years we had to hit safety yellow balls, I don't know there was still the option to hit yellow balls.

We hit the EVIL H.O.T. ASA balls this past season in league & in tourneys & they are really good balls.

I have to agree with the evil balls. Buggs makes a damn good product and his customer service is unmatched. Shoot him a pm for the best deals.

How do you get to swing a Syn2 in an ASA tourney?

This is not a ASA sanction tournament. Because it is charity, they just use the guidelines by ASA. We can swing any bat with the ASA stamp on it, no matter how old. The past couple of years they supplied the balls they purchased from SA or DSG. This year we can provide our own balls.

TA's X-rocks or Evils. Pick the ones you can get the cheapest.

I decided to give the Evil's XT a shot....Guess I will see how good evil's product is..........I was offered TA's (white) on here but not paying 120 for a dozen shipped....

If I could find one, I'd try a 28oz og Freak, Voltage, or Synergy 2. If I couldn't find one, I'd be good to go with my RD28, Juggernaut, or teammate's MAY98. Sounds like a fun tournament though.
