so i've been trying to swing my plague and GS, but with the heat the balls are so soft it doesn't feel like the balls are jumping off the bat...its unfortunate but i feel like i'm hitting my Freak + a ton better.

The plague and GS are spiderwebbed up, so I know they are nice and broken in and soft, and my freak + is also spiderwebbed.

I really want to swing a combat though...whats something that is gonna have that 13" barrel with the slight enload??? but still give me that not so pillow soft barrel feel?

SSAA on saturday. But our local fields let us use 575's if we can find them. We used to use them, then evil quit making them and changed them to 525's. The TD never changed the rule, so we still use them. I'm either swinging the GSR or the DB.

That is a lot better than the classic M and classic + we are hitting down here. I am using my BBGV and DB for those. Our average heat index all summer is well over 100. Today it is overcast and raining and the heat index was 101. I tried to hit my Plague yesterday in BP with garbage ASA (Demarini) balls that a league provides. I got nothing on it, felt like I was hitting a marshmallow:mad::mad:

early in the day you may be good with any but by 1030 or 11. the ones that are the least broke in and still a lil stiff would suit for the rest of the day.

my DB officially has one hit on her. im probably useing it tonight dues to how how its been today

Mt DB has 1300 cuts on it. All of my bats are at game status. I'm waiting on a NIW wood to show up so I can start taking bp again.
