NYTX--Thanks for the info.

It does look like we can pick up 2 60 AAA players who are in our Region. That would be west of the Mississippi.

If anyone is interested in playing with us for Vegas Worlds please contact George at ghtipton@kpunet.net 907 617 3372

Discussion: Thin wall bats for .52/300 ball

It makes sense that the PST would hit those balls well. I think they are made from a pretty hard alloy.

Hitting the 44's with the new bats will indeed shorten the life of the bat. Just like any thin wall performance bat.

Discussion: Thin wall bats for .52/300 ball

This year in our ASA league we switched to the mandated .52/300 ball. Among other reasons for the switch, this ball is supposed to react less to the trampolining effect that the thin wall bats impart on harder balls like the .44/375's. The idea is that the high performance bats won't make as much difference and cheating by shaving the bat won't give you an advantage. I have even read that to get better performance with these balls it is a good idea to use a stiffer bat like the old aluminum ones. This sounds reasonable, but it seems to fly in the face of the fact that the bat manufactures are creating new ASA bats with thinner walls. They say these bats are specifically tuned for the .52/300 ball. I am wondering if anyone here has a perspective on why the bat manufactures would create new bats that are the opposite of what is the logical design.

As a side note I have tried the new ASA bats(2014) and the older ASA bats(2012) with the .52/300 ball and I would have to conclude that, for me personally, the new bats did not really hit this ball any better. Also, having tried the new bats against the .44/375 ball, I would say they hit the crap out of that one. Not as good as a senior bat but close to it.
