| Nov. 30, 2007 SCRAPPY6 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: moving up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|
| Sept. 4, 2007 SCRAPPY6 | Topic: Bats Discussion: American pasttime made in China @#*! YES, MANY BATS ARE MADE OUT OF THE USA. WORTH MAKES SOME OF THEIR LOW END BATS IN CHINA. MOST OF THE HIGH TECH AND COMPOSITE BATS ARE STILL MADE IN THE USA. MIKENS BATS ARE MADE IN THE USA. COMBAT AND I BELIEVE RIP IT ARE MADE AT CE COMPOSITES IN CANADA. PEOPLE DEMAND TO PAY LESS AND THAT IS HOW SOME COMPANIES SURVIVE. CHECK OUT SHOES, SOCKS, BALL GLOVES, BALLS, BAT BAGS, AND ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE YOU USE WHEN YOU PLAY COME FROM SOME OTHER COUNTRY. I DON'T LIKE IT BUT THAT IS THE BUSINESS WORLD. SCRAPPY6 |
| Aug. 19, 2007 SCRAPPY6 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: 1 and 1 count-interesting comment WE PLAY SEVERAL TOURNAMENTS A YEAR AND ALSO LEAGUE BALL WITH A FULL 4/3 COUNT. ONLY A HANDFULL OF GAMES NEVER GET TO THE SEVENTH INNING. THE REASON IS WE HUSSTLE IN AND OUT OF THE FIELD AND LIMIT ANY INFIELD PRACTICE. ON A 1-1 COUNT YOU ARE SAVING ONE PITCH. THE REASON IS WITH A 1-1 COUNT YOU ALSO GET AN EXTRA FOUL. TRUE, MANY PLAYERS LOOK AT ONE PITCH AND SO DO I AT TIMES. ON OUR TEAM I WOULD SAY THAT ONLY ONE OR TWO PLAYERS LOOK AT THE FIRST PITCH. WITH A ONE HOUR TIME LIMIT, BEFORE THE LAST INNING IS CALLED, AND A LIMIT OF 5 RUNS PER INNING IF TEAMS ARE HUSTLING IN AND OUT YOU SHOULD GET THE GAME IN. I ADMIT, IF I PLAY WITH A 1-1 COUNT AND I LOOK AT THE FIRST ONE I MAY HIT AN INTENTIONAL FOUL. THIS ACTUALLY CAN TAKE MORE TIME AS A NEW BALL HAS TO BE PUT IN PLAY. I'LL STICK WITH THE OLD 4/3 AS THERE ARE ENOUGH RULE CHANGES AND MODIFICATIONS AS THERE IS. |
| July 13, 2007 SCRAPPY6 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: SAN DIEGO QUALIFIER TAITS, IT IS ME. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT ST GEORGE AT THIS TIME. SPEND ALL MY TIME PLAYIN. NO MORE COACHING. MY E-MAIL IS amassong@aol.com |
| July 13, 2007 SCRAPPY6 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Any one used & compared these six (6) non ASA bats USING THE LAUNCH 510 NOW IN A 28 OZ. SWINGS LIKE A U2, SAME GRIP AS A U2, AND PERFORMS LIKE A U2..NICE TREATMENT IS THE TAPERED KNOB. THESE ARE THE ONLY TWO WORTH MENTIONING. THE OTHERS ARE IN SECOND PLACE. |
| July 7, 2007 SCRAPPY6 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Top 5 or 10 Senior Bats ULTRA II IS THE ONE TO BEAT. JUST RECEIVED MY NEW WORTH LAUNCH AND I WILL TELL YOU THAT THIS THING HAS SOME POP!! JUST GETTING IT BROKE IN AND IT IS EQUALLY AS POTENT AS MY U2. I ALSO LIKE THE TAPERED KNOB ON THE BAT AND ALSO THE GRAPHICS (NOT THAT THEY DO ANYTHING FOR THE PERFORMANCE) BUT IT IS A DIFFERENT LOOK. IT GETS BETTER AFTER EVERY HIT AND FEELS THE SAME AS MY U2. OF COURSE, WE ALL KNOW WHO IS MAKING IT. SCRAPPY6 |
| July 7, 2007 SCRAPPY6 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: SAN DIEGO QUALIFIER WE ARE A COLORADO 60\'S AAA TEAM AND ARE THINKING OF GOING TO THE SAN DIEGO QUALIFIER SEPTEMBER 20-23. ANYBODY EVER PLAY IN THIS TOURNAMENT? IS IT WELL ATTENDEND BY 60 YR OLD TEAMS? THANKS AHEAD OF TIME FOR THE INFO AS AIR FARES AND TRAVEL ARE EXPENSIVE FOR TOURNAMENTS THAT ARE NOT WELL ATTENDED OR RUN WELL. SCRAPPY6 |
| March 15, 2007 SCRAPPY6 | Topic: Bats Discussion: MUTANT COMPOSITE WELL, THERE'S A NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN. IT'S CALLED THE "MUTANT 120" COMPOSITE BY WORTH. HAD BATTING PRACTICE LAST WEEK AND SET THE NEW "MUTANT" NEXT TO MY ULTRA II. FIGURED I'D TAKE 25 CUTS WITH THE MUTANT AND THE REST WITH MY ULTRA. WELL, I NEVER PICKED UP THE ULTRA AGAIN. I GOT USED TO THE "MUTANT" AS IT HAS A DIFFERENT FEEL THEN THE ULTRA AND HIT SOME BOMBS. LINE DRIVES WERE BLISTERING. IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD OF IT YOU WILL. SORRY ULTRA II, BUT "ASTA LA VISTA BABY". I'VE "MUTATED". IT IS A FULL COMPOSITE AND THERE IS EVEN A 98 VERSION FOR THOSE LOCAL LEAGUES. |

| Oct. 26, 2006 SCRAPPY6 | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: LVSSA WORLD TOURNAMENT HAVE NOT HEARD MUCH FROM TEAMS THAT PLAYED IN THE LVSSA WORLD TOURNAMENT OCT 6-8. WE WERE VERY UPSET AS TO HOW THE TOURNAMENT WAS RUN. BASICALLY PAID FOR A 3 DAY TOURAMENT AND PLAYED ONE DAY. RAIN IS ALWAY A FACTOR BUT WE FELT THAT THE GAMES WERE CALLED OFF WAY TO EARLY ON FRIDAY. I UNDERSTAND THE CITY MAKES THE CALL BUT IT WAS WRONG. WE WERE AT DOC ROMEO AT 10:00 ON FRIDAY AND THE FIELDS WERE EASILY PLAYABLE. MANY TEAMS WERE IN THE WRONG CLASSIFICATION. SAW SOME AA TEAMS WITH 5 -6 GUYS HITTING IT OUT OF THE PARK!! VERY GOOD AA PLAYERS. SAME WITH AAA GAMES THAT I SAW. NOTHING WRONG WITH TATERS BUT BRACKETS SEEMED VERY UNEVEN. WHAT DID YA THINK? |

| Nov. 11, 2005 SCRAPPY6 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Ultra II, Mayhem 120 What's the Didderence? The main difference in the bats is that the Mayhem has a process called "Aramid Composite Technology". This is a material used in the "sweet spot" to make the bat stronger and longer lasting. It is a kevlar type material. I have found it takes a little longer to break in then the UItra, but the bats don't crack as quickly. Check the web site for Worth. I have used both, and after the break in the Mayhem is very comparable to a Freak Plus in performance but should have more durability. |
| Nov. 9, 2005 SCRAPPY6 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: LAS VEGAS WINTER WORLDS PLAYERS NEEDED LOOKING FOR PLAYERS (PREFERABLY OUTFIELDERS) 55 AND OVER FOR OUR SCRAPIRON TEAM.

| March 3, 2005 SCRAPPY6 | Topic: Product review Discussion: SOFTBALL COMPRESSION INFO I WANTED TO CLARIFY THE INFORMATION WHICH RELATES TO SOFTBALLS AND TEMPERATURE EFFECT ON THE COMPRESSION. IT WAS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED THAT FOR EVERY ONE DEGREE TEMPERATURE CHANGE THERE IS A 5% CHANGE IN COMPRESSION. THIS IS NOT QUITE ACCURATE. FOR EVERY ONE DEGREE CHANGE THERE IS A 5 LB. COMPRESSION CHANGE. BALLS ARE TESTED AT 72 DEGREES. AT 92 DEGREES A 400 COMPRESSION BALL CHANGES TO APPROXIMATELY 300 COMPRESSION. INVERSELY THE SAME HAPPENS IF THE TEMPERATURE IS 52 DEGREES THE COMPRESSION GOES TO APPROXIMATELY 500. I'M A MANUFACTURERS REP FOR WORTH SPORTS AND WE HAVE DONE MANY TESTS ON OUR PRODUCTS TO INSURE CONSISTENCY AND BALL QUALITY. I ALSO PLAY SENIOR BALL AND ENJOY A HIGH PERFORMANCE BAT AND A BALL THAT IS CONSISTENT. WE WILL BE INTRODUCING SOME NEW AND EXCITING PRODUCTS SHORTLY. |
