April 12, 2013 Tri18	Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: 50 Major + Shortstop needed April 19-21 in Georgia As many of you know our shortstop Roger Bard just had quad bypass surgery. Roger is a player that cannot be duplicated but we do need someone to help fill our needs at shortstop. If you are a quality Major/Major + caliber shortstop and interested in playing in Cartersville, GA on April 19-21 please get in touch with me ASAP. We are a competitive Major Plus team that puts just as much emphasis on comraderie as ability. We need to add another infielder to our squad anyway so this is a good opportunity to let us meet you and showcase your skills. Alan Tanner Team 1 Sports 561-718-7504 Tricoach18@att.net
April 10, 2013 Tri18	Topic: Bats Discussion: what is the..... Cat, There are several that stand out. The Combat Ambush, Reebok MeLee, and now the new Miken 2 piece are excellent choices with similar performance parameters when you are considering an end load. The Ambush tends to have a slightly larger sweet spot. Contact me with any questions or if you need help getting what you need. AlanTanner Team 1 Sports Tricoach18@att.net 561-718-7504

April 6, 2013 Tri18	Topic: Bats Discussion: New Miken ASA Ultra END LOAD!? Hey everyone, I have been dealing with Miken about a hot new product release that will be announced next week....the Ultra U2 END LOADED version. I have done research and testing on the balanced version and posted here for you. As I stated before....a Fantastic bat and without a doubt the best bang for your buck for ASA under $200. Now imagine what putting and end load can do for the model.....for those of you used to and end loaded bat...ALOT. I am happy to be one of the first distributors that Miken is allowing to receive the bat. If you are interested get with me ASAP and I'll make sure they are available to you. Right now Mikens line in both senior,USSSA, and ASA bats have had so many good models they are literally having a hard time producing enough bats and I'm sure this will add to it. Great job to the Miken staff this season for doing the homework and creating some fine bats this season. Alan Tanner Team 1 Sports 561-718-7504 Tricoach18@att.net
April 3, 2013 Tri18	Topic: Product review Discussion: Socks It's amazing how many calls and emails I have received from various players concerning PF since the subject was introduced. And I thought us triathletes and runners had it bad! Lol the good news is I got my re stocking order in today from Zensah so I can get your orders filled. If anyone needs help with recovery from exercise fatigue and or injury get with me and I'm happy to help your get the proper compression wear. Alan Team 1 Sports Tricoach18@att.net
April 3, 2013 Tri18	Topic: Bats Discussion: New Miken 2 piece End Load (supermax) SD, Not a dumb question at all. In fact , in regards to this particular bat, it's a very relevant question due to the new design. The more balanced 2 piece version was released first and well received. Because both the balanced and end load versions are a totally new design and of course a 2 piece model they feel slightly different than previous versions in one piece makeups. Even though the two piece "balanced" version is that, it's feel and swing weight suggest a different balance point and slightly more of an end loaded feel as compared to a black one piece U2. I tested and demo'd the bat and had a lot of players try it. Many players that preferred an end weighted bat bought the original 2 piece balanced version from me and are quite happy with it. Now here comes the Supermax with it's true end loaded feel and swing weight. For the true end weighted bat lover....a gem in design, feel, and functionality. So....all that being said, if you love the feel of your original red one piece end load chances are you will really like the new Supermax. On top of that, you will appreciate it's added durability. Hope this helps you and other guys out. If you need more help or assistance with that bat or any other one feel free to call me. Alan Tanner Team 1 Sports 561-718-7504

March 28, 2013 Tri18	Topic: Bats Discussion: ANYBODY HERE ANYTHING ABOUT DEAD REEBOK VECTORS? After more research I was unable to substantiate that there were "knock off" Reebok bats being produced. The Vector has a very unique design so cloning that would be quite a challenge. As with any bat there is a possibility that it was one that underperforms. Make sure if you are buying on eBay that it's from an official dealer so you can have some recourse. Most companies will not recognize a eBay purchase for warranty issues . Alan Team 1 Sports
March 28, 2013 Tri18	Topic: Bats Discussion: Z2000 vs miken ultra II I have tested all the seniors and the Z2000. While it's a good performing bat, the Z2000 will not attain the same levels of performance of the U2 or other senior bats. Regards, Alan Tanner Team 1 Sports
March 27, 2013 Tri18	Topic: Product review Discussion: Socks Kirby, Thank you for the kind words. I really enjoyed speaking with you and trying to help you out. As you can see, I really like working with athletes and helping them in any way I can whether it's selecting the right bat, designing a workout, or getting them a product that will help them overcome an injury. Fortunately, I have much experience working with athletes at all levels and I am aligning Team 1 Sports to work specifically with players and athletes in the " senior game" since I am there myself. I truly mean it when I say pick up the phone and call me, I'll be glad to help you anyway I can. In my mind, Personal Customer service trumps everything in today's world of non-personal service. If you guys need anything, call me at 561-718-7504. Team 1 is the only softball company that specializes in the senior game. Thanks again Kirby, Alan Tanner Team 1 Sports
March 25, 2013 Tri18	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Another Prayer Request A lot of you know Roger Bard who plays on my Team 1 Sports team. He went in for a check up and found he needed a stent for a heart issue. Upon further testing, he now needs a quadruple by pass and was immediately checked into the hospital. He has a slight fever so they are scheduling the procedure for Thursday. I know a lot of you know Roger...he is a class act and a fantastic player who now needs your prayers. Those of him that know him will like this...the first thing he said after he was told he needed the operation was "when can I play softball again?" Lift him up daily and I thank you for it.

March 22, 2013 Tri18	Topic: Product review Discussion: Socks HJ, I have alot of experience (fortunately and unfortunately) with PF. I coach and train many athletes who have experienced it and had a huge dose of it myself for the better part of a year. I had to resort to 2 shots of cortisone as a last ditch effort to get me through the Ironman Triathlon. (It didnt help much)There are some good ideas on the previous threads and questions on compression socks so I'll throw out a little information to hopefully contribute. PF is quite common around sports involving running so ALOT of my endurance athletes have suffered in various degrees from it. However, even a non-athletic person is not immune from the tightening and inflammation associated with PF and the pain it causes. Initially, ice is the best remedy in the beginning stages as with most soft tissue injuries. Freezing a frozen orange juice concentrate can and rolling on it along the bottom of the foot provides relief. Stretching can also help but depending on the location and severity of your case it can also aggravate the original injury site. Additionally, there is the Strasberg Sock which can be worn at night to keep the PF stretched out so it does not shorten during sleep. Anyone with PF can attest to the pain that you feel when the first few steps are taken in the morning! As far as COMPRESSION socks and Compression wear...they do help with any type of soft tissue injury and promote overall recovery from aggressive physical activity or injury by increasing blood flow to those areas. As a long time Endurance Athlete and Professional Coach, I tried and tested many variations over the years. This technology is more prevalent amongst long distance runners and athletes due to the pounding of vigorous training and racing on a daily basis. Many of my clients and my own training build ups for Ironman racing involve swimming, cycling, running, and lifting for 35+ hour a week with running mileage in excess of 70 miles per week. Thousands of endurance athletes have embraced the benefits of compression wear as socks, calf sleeves, shorts, tights, and even tops. Many, many professional players in football, baseball, tennis, basketball, and a variety of sports have found wearing compression wear before, during, and after training or games to be extremely helpful with not just injuries but recovery. I still wear calf sleeves and sometimes full socks when I play and afterwards as it helps with muscular soreness from the pounding of 3 or 4 games in a day. When I started researching and testing various products, I found a company called Zensah and tried some of their products as they have models directly designed for athletes. I was extremely happy with the results and the relatively modest cost for good quality products so I included them in my product line a number of years ago and have been providing them to athletes ever since. If you need more specific information get in touch with me. Sorry about the long post...there is ALOT of information out there on these 2 topics. Alan Tanner Team 1 Sports tricoach18@att.net
March 21, 2013 Tri18	Topic: Bats Discussion: ANYBODY HERE ANYTHING ABOUT DEAD REEBOK VECTORS? There was a rumour that this was happening back a few months ago. I have never personally seen a bat that was supposedly a fake so i am not positive that it's true. I will check in with Reebok Corporate today about that situation and if I find out some factual information I'll post it so players can know. Where did you purchase the bats ? The best recommendation I could give you is be careful who you purchase from and watch out for eBay....if you buy from a legit Reebok rep whether it's myself or Ed we have the capacity to have the bats examined by Reebok to see if in fact it's a fake or possibly a defect. If you need help feel free to get with me. Best of luck, Alan Tanner Team 1 Sports Tricoach18@att.net 561-718-7504
March 18, 2013 Tri18	Topic: Product review Discussion: Miken Sunglasses?! Miken sunglasses? I thought they made bats....until they introduced a pair of POLARIZED glasses with 3 SETS of lenses for around $30 ?! First let me tell you I have been predominately an Oakley fan ever since they were dumb enough to sponsor me for a few years when I played softball and then for my short stint with the Reds. The other thing is...I'm an admitted sunglasses addict...even my girlfriend makes fun of my habit. So...how good can a $30 pair of sunglasses be? Answer: Pretty darn good! I got a few pairs in to test out and let some guys try them out. With no exception they all liked them. They are light, fit really well, don't bounce or move when running, have excellent optics, and they come with 3 sets of lenses. Next test was at the ballpark....I took 20 pairs to a local tournament here last week and I sold 2 pairs and then....when word got out I had players all over them and I sold them out in 2 hours. I had to re order them in now ! All in all, a great value for your $ and if you break them you have extra lenses and if you lose them, $30 isn't a crazy amount to spend for a great pair of glasses. See you at thie ballpark! Alan Tanner Team 1 Sports 561-718-7504 Tricoach18@att.net
March 14, 2013 Tri18	Topic: Bats Discussion: Centenarians review, 13" and 10" Jack, The white bat has been a great performer this year. Guys that like a really end loaded bat love the feel of it. The black Centenarian is usually one of the better all around performers and has great durability. Occasionally you will see a shorter life but most of the time the black bat is very durable. I just got some of both in as guys keep calling for them! Alan 561-718-7504 Team 1 Sports
March 12, 2013 Tri18	Topic: Bats Discussion: New Miken 2 piece End Load (supermax) BB, Just to be clear you may get more than that if you use the bat. This was an average on the ones we tested using a variety of players . Remember each player has a different swing, bat speed, and strength. If you have used the red one piece in the past you will get more swings and overall life out of this model which is an improvement. Hope this helps you. Alan Team 1 Sports
March 12, 2013 Tri18	Topic: Bats Discussion: senior bats Big cat, Look at my post concerning the new end loaded Miken and then get in touch with me. Alan Team 1 Sports 561-718-7504
March 11, 2013 Tri18	Topic: Product review Discussion: New Miken ASA Ultra Which one? It is legal in ASA but NOT USSSA if that is what you are referring to? Alan
March 11, 2013 Tri18	Topic: Bats Discussion: New Miken 2 piece End Load (supermax) Ok guys here is the scoop... The new Miken Supermax is what I would consider better than the old red one piece. Is it more lively? No is it more durable? Yes is it as lively as the old red one piece? Yes, but a little farther down life's road...in summary, this is a different feeling bat than the old red model. If you like an end loaded bat, you will like the feel of a true end load in this model. It will not be crazy hot immediately like some of the old red ones...it does take a little time but it comes to life as early as 40 swings and up to app. 85 swings depending on the hitter. It's durability will easily surpass the old red one piece and it will average out in the 225-350 swing range. If you used this bat before you can expect around 15-25 percent more life than your old red model. All in all...an improvement and another fine bat in the Miken lineup. Just got ours in so If you want more information get with me. Alan Tanner 561-718-7504 Team 1 Sports
