| Feb. 14, 2019 Tri18 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Senior Spring Training Camp in Vero Beach, FL Orlando and West Palm Beach are about the same distance. Sanford is also a good option as some of the discount airlines like Allegiant and Frontier fly there. All of those airports are under 2 hours away... AT18 Team 1 Sports |

| Feb. 2, 2019 Tri18 | Topic: Bats Discussion: New Dudley I spoke to Dudley yesterday and they advised me my shipment would be sent to me sometime around February 15/16 and I should receive sometime around the 20th. If they get here before that I will advise you. If you have questions about the new Dudley bat or its availability to you feel free to call me at 561-718-7504. Alan Tanner Team 1 Sports |
| Jan. 31, 2019 Tri18 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: TOC Next week Hi Guys, Looking forward to the TOC next week in Florida and seeing a lot of you. I will be there for Miken/Worth on Wednesday for the hitting clinic and will have my trailer set up at the Auburndale fields on Thursday- Saturday with all the new product line for you to see and purchase. Come on over and visit! Alan Tanner Miken/Worth Pro Staff 561-718-7504 |
| Jan. 20, 2019 Tri18 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: SliAcademy.com hitting clinic's next week Guys if you have a chance get with Mr. Imlay on one of his clinics. I have coached with Steve at several clinics as guest instructors and he certainly understands the correct mechanics and approach to being a successful slow pitch hitter. More importantly is that he knows how to comvey it in a way that’s easily understood. Alan Tanner Team 1 Sports |
| Jan. 2, 2019 Tri18 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Is it too soon to compare the new Dudley Hot 14" vs the new Adidas Melee 2 - two piece? Hey Raider, Please send me your Wicked “log” so I can lab and field test it for any possible manufacturing defect. This does happen occasionally on a production line although we strive to maintain consistency in each bat being made. Yours is the first one that I have heard being described this way and I would like to evaluate it and possibly send it back to engineering. If there is indeed something wrong with the bat, I’ll replace it. Thank you, Alan Tanner Team 1 Sports 12 Porta Vista Circle Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33418 |
| Jan. 1, 2019 Tri18 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Miken Freak Pro Jason Kendrick 2pc compared to Worth Wicked XL 2pc No sir, The new JB bat is a 12” barrel and it was brought up to the same specs as all of the Miken senior bats for 2019. If you like a 12” barrel bat, it’s phenomenal and it’s definitely our best 12” senior bat to date. I will be doing a video on it soon and it will be on Facebook and also on my You Tube page. There is a new video on you tube that I made early this morning showing Mikens Freak X USSSA bat. You will see how good it is and imagine what a senior barrel will do....!

| Jan. 1, 2019 Tri18 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Miken Freak Pro Jason Kendrick 2pc compared to Worth Wicked XL 2pc The Worth Wicked Pro XL has been Miken and Worths top selling senior bat of all of the senior bats they offer since it’s introduction in Las Vegas and still is as of January 1, 2019 according to what is provided to me by them. I do not ask for sales figures from other bat companies although sometimes they are provided to me. Hail, believe me if you worked closely with the engineers as I do you would know there are ALOT of new things in composites especially related to bat manufacturing. We are already working on new technologies for the 2020 bat lines that have changes in them as well. I won’t speak for other companies but I am quite sure they would tell you the same thing. Any company that sits still in this day and age with how fast and far reaching technology is going, is going backwards. Trust me, Miken and Worth and going full steam ahead working on new and better products. Happy New Years to each of you, AT18 |
| Dec. 29, 2018 Tri18 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Miken Freak Pro Jason Kendrick 2pc compared to Worth Wicked XL 2pc Cheez, Great question but incorrect information that you received. I am intimately familiar with both bats as I have worked with them since their inception. The Kendrick bat has a 14” barrel and the Wicked Pro XL has a 13.5” barrel. 1/2” difference isn’t a big deal right? ...Not so fast, but a 1/2” or a 1/2 oz. can and does change a lot in a bat. There are other subtle weighting differences as well between these 2 bats. Both are fantastic in durability and performance. The Wicked XL gets a slight bonus in forgiveness and is the top selling senior bat right now. I’m glad you are enjoying it as are hundreds of guys across the country. As the weather begins to turn and spring draws closer, I am sure we will see even more people swinging the Worth bat. Best of luck to you this year.

| Nov. 28, 2018 Tri18 | Topic: Bats Discussion: New Senior bat technology and performance insights All you guys above make great comments especially as this is somewhat new information due to the expansion of technologies. If you want to sum it up, every player has a “number” where a bats barrel flex can become a negative as far as performance goes. That number can vary widely depending on the players size, strength, and technique. Every player does not have a compression tester available but at least players have this new knowledge that can still help them. Some things to look out for and be aware of: 1. Bats that feel soft at impact might very well feel that way because you are not getting 100% performance potential out of them. 2. Watch ball flight and wake up if you seem to be hitting more knuckle balls than usual. This can be indicative of the barrel is collapsing too much and more surface area of the ball is impacting more surface area of the bat thus DECREASING spin potential. Spin creates velocity and distance. Balls that lose spin and knuckle regularly can be caused by too soft of a bat. 3. Players need to not just consider how a bat feels....pay attention to ball flight and velocity. Just because you don’t feel that softness doesn’t mean the bat is not lively. 4. Be careful of bats that break in extremely quickly, feel softer in 100 swings or less, and reach high performance levels almost immediately. This will most likely be a bat for YOU that will break down quickly, get too soft, lose performance, and possibly break quicker than another bat. These are just some things to consider as everyone becomes a little more educated on the newer bats and newer materials. That being said, not all companies employ the latest materials and technologies which again can create lesser performance and breakage quicker than other brands. Alan Tanner Team 1 Sports |
| Nov. 23, 2018 Tri18 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Fall Training camp for seniors in Vero Beach, FL I don’t have anything scheduled but I would be happy to work together to put one in place in your area. I do travel and custom taylor 1,2, and 3 day camps for different senior leagues and communities around the country. Maybe you can get together with your local leagues and see if there is interest and then call me and we can design a program to fit your requirements. Any other leagues or areas that have interest feel free to do the same and we can custom design the best program for your area. Alan Tanner Team 1 Sports |
