We get to hit our pick of .44 375 balls - which to buy?

X-Rock ISA, best I've ever hit. They are insane coming off of the bat. Just make sure you get the ones with the micro cell technology

I wish we could still use white, there's 2 dozen of these sitting at my local SA for a couple months now.

ok - so you think the dudley advance are inferior to the evil balls...?

are you alone? :)

I will break it down for you since only two people understood my first post. The absolute best 44/375 ball in stores is the ISA Evil/Trump Xrock, and Dudley Thunder Advance if they even make one. I've never seen one so I don't know.

Evil Microcell/Xrock Microcell/Dudley Thunder Advance use a multi-layer design that the other associations have outlawed or are outlawing. The ISA ball is the only one that still has it in a 44/375. If they're still in stock anywhere they will be the best. You can buy TA 44/375s on eBay for stupid prices if you want, but they are not worth the price IMO.

If you think those are too expensive then you should just get a Trump Stote or Dudley Thunder Heat or SY. They are obviously not as good, but still very good. Do not buy anything Worth.

Ok, thank you for the response. I can only find X-ROCK-ISA-Y for sale, how different are those from the MP-EVIL-ISA-Y that I can't find anywhere?

The only difference is that the evil ball has a leather cover (rock has composite) and more stitches in the cover.

IMO they're both great balls. I'd buy whichever one is easiest for you to get.

Sweet - found them in stock - do you know if .44 375 is stamped on the ball where it is not showing in the picture above...I want to make sure the umpire can clearly see the 44/375

Man that was a shot! :eek:

I actually did get pissed off once when a guy on the opposing team said "nice shot" when the ball seriously landed less than a foot past the 272 sign. Can of corn in any normal park anywhere in the country is not a "nice shot", sending it over the street is a nice shot. Freaking amateurs.
