I didn't care for the dual stamp z4 myself Robb's has one and tried it 1 time at the forest park snowball but then again I'm not a Louisville Z fan either though but surprised the softball associations allowed them to put that finish on the barrels IMO its like having a **** ton of spray tac on the barrel causing (or seems to cause different affects) to how the ball comes off the barrel.

It's been done before. Mizuno did it on the Blur.

Anybody remember Greg swinging that shaved Blur in a scrimmage game at Fenton?

I like Mark personally, but he has needed to put money back into the park for years. Nobody expects it to be BMAC or O'Fallon quality, but I see no reason why it can't be Gordie Mac quality considering that park is also privately owned. When it was rolling it had a great softball atmosphere. It's really sad to see Worth Bats that low. My first time playing in it the championship game was relatively late Sunday if I remember correctly.

If he just pulled the turf up and put it back to the **** hole it was for many years before that I believe people would return. Fenton and bmac are easily nicer in every aspect yet teams played at sun valley for many years until he laid that horrible turf down.

Honestly, the seems are flattened out now. Its weird that there are two differnt kinds of turf sewn togehter, but it plays like an uneven dirt field.

The issue is the mud moat behind the field. If it were me, I'd till the and drag it into the OF, since on nearly all the fields it's higher than the OF grass in elevation.

Then I'd shut one field down for a month and sod it (as I heard he was planning on), per haps 2 fields even....but atleast if he would drag it to the OF so it's slopped the water would run off more.

It's not 2 different turf it's the same exact turf just like laying carpet it's called quarter turning (basically shortcut for less material to be used) but doing this causes the seems to be noticeable because of the nap of carpet/turf are running 2 different directions side by side

and its USED football turf from the university of tulsa so it probably has some wear spots which make it look different.

That two but quarter turning carpet or turf will cause the effect of the material to look totally different where the seams are at because of the way the nap of material (turf) is run your suspose to run turf/carpet the same direction not multi directions in same area.. Only know this because of my old job as a flooring salesman

On the blue filed, there is some curly turf while the rest is grass style (perm versus straight), thats not the same turf you'd find on a football field. It's also not all from the same football field, as I heard Mark telling Sal about the shipping issues and the guy that sold him the stuff piecing it together from different places. perhaps I miss understood and the turf was shipped incorrectly and then shipped to Mark from two different places.

This was at the Jokers tourney.

Notice all those $20's (that's a lot of lap dances at the club) why only 1 $100 bill though? I do like the Fro Roach is that your long lost brother? Lol

I'll just ask my wife. She's been working in the flooring industry for almost 9 years. ;)

Red and blue are a lot worse than green and yellow, I believe red was the last one finished, it seems there were a few pieces on it that were a different type/thickness/knapp than the rest.

Sucks having to go 1/2 way in river des Peres to get 1 stadium ball but needless to say there was 7 in the river lol 5 classic M's 1 11" and 1 stadium.. That B1 is starting to open up nicely. Considering the cross wind was surprised Chad and me hit any out. But man those stadiums sure were fun to hit ESP the one that went way into the river would like to see what it would of went with my sy100 lol
