| Aug. 20, 2022 bogie | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Remarkable Transformation of an 82yr.olds flawed swing.. by Driving Hands & Snapping Wrists #237 using hip rotation to drive hands creates a lag, followed by an axe style (palm up palm down, no rollover) snap, really can bring back alot of velocity to anyone struggling. This 82 year old show remarkable improvement just on working on driving hands and snapping properly https://youtu.be/McEz8mTJWzc shows free and easily accesible at www.sportstechnique.com good luck to all at SSUSA Worlds! bogie |

To be able to play physically and to be as hardnosed as those athletes seem is awesome. The 90's National Championship is truly a gem! |
| Aug. 9, 2022 bogie | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Am i wrong to think this way Actually Dave from senior softball bat reviews, in his latest update, stated that due to the fiber layup of some senior bats, his opinion was that some bats will get hotter than normal breakin due to shaving. I would really like to see someones test that compared the same model shaved vs broken in at 180lb asa compression to see if there is a performance advantage to shaving vs just well broken in. Not that it changes it being wrong, but out of curiousity. Like Dave also mentioned, light hitting seniors often have bats that are not broken in, even after a few years, because they are not hit enough or hit hard enough. A broken in bat legally will often hit much, much better than a bat that is not. |
| Aug. 4, 2022 bogie | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Am i wrong to think this way I had someone who represented a bat company tell me a shaved bat, would not perform any better than a very well broken in senior bat because the fiber layups are the same and they only get so hot due to the design. He said many hitters are using senior bats that they have not hit enough to be broken in. I personally bought a bat compression tester so I would know when my senior bats went from asa compession of 230 down to a hot 185. When they get much lower, so 150, they get too soft and I find performance not as good. I think Dave from senior softballbat reviews had a good comment when he tested some older seniors game bats, and they were still almost as stiff as they were new, in all probability because they didnt hit them as hard as younger players, and bats were not breaking in fast for them. I surely dont condone shaved bats but I am curious if anyone has done some testing on a well broken in..ie 180 compression tested legal senior bat vs. a SHAVED senior bat??? I would like to know if there is really a huge difference in a shaved senior vs a well broken in senior...or are we seeing alot of seniors not having bats that have legally been swung enough to break in fully? It would be interesting to buy a shaved bat and see, but that is a road I would not want to take. Has anyone had a chance to compare a shaved bat vs a well broken in gamer of the same model and size??? Also if a hot legal senior is 185 asa compression, what would the shaved bat be testing? Also Ill add that I see smaller athletes with great mechanics and legal bats who are hitting viscous line drives and homeruns..and it just seems someone will often say...Oh, hes swinging as shaved bat. Easy to be a hater or assume someone small is swinging a cut stick. If someone has done a scientific test or compression test on shaved vs broken in, would love to read the results. Check out your area or bat sales guys at tournaments and see if someone has a tester will check your gamer...its invaluable information on how well your bat is broken in and if its close to its potential. |

| Aug. 1, 2022 bogie | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Medical exemption At 68 yrs. old and having a knee replacement a year ago, and 2 months ago hip replacement, I have to agree with Dave. I have not played the last 3 years because I was basically a cripple. Already its a huge improvement. Certainly not the person I was 6 years ago physically, and with muscle memory lost, just starting to hit and relearn swing, but in my case its a tremendous improvement, with more mobility and working on re building strength and swing. I think if your in your 50s, the benefit would be even more dramatic. That said I was never a defensive player of any impact so can't comment on that aspect. |
