| July 21, 2015 HPower | I should let Alan speak for himself, but... I think one of the main points he is trying to get across is how durable this "new, latest, greatest" bat is, which is a huge bonus on any Senior bat. Yes, the max number for a Senior bat is 1.21 but that is only one part of the story. |
| July 21, 2015 HPower | Hey Allen, Another useful parameter to document might be amount break in required. I am not sure how that would equated in a 1-10 scale, but if a fast break in coincides with great durability, that would be a good thing especially for those who are limited to how much BP time they have. |

| July 16, 2015 HPower | Topic: Bats Discussion: Dudley 12" with rattle. That's great to hear that Dudley is looking after you k man! I swung my 12" Dudley all weekend in Syracuse and was VERY impressed with how it hit. Rattle seems like a non-issue. |
| July 14, 2015 HPower | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: northeast championships Not sure about the 60 Major, but a bunch of my buddy's with the Bandits went undefeated to win the 55 Major division. They have a pretty strong team and I would expect them to do well in Vegas as well. |
| July 14, 2015 HPower | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: northeast championships I was playing 50AAA with Stubby on Durham Silver Stix, we lost to Steel City Sox from PA in the final. They were a pretty good team and beat us 21-10, mind you we played with 10 all weekend and had 1 guy with a bad arm and 1 with a pulled hammy. All in all a pretty good showing from our guys! How about you bergy? |
| July 13, 2015 HPower | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: northeast championships This was a great tournament, well run and a lot of good teams in all divisions! It was my first time traveling down to The States (I am from the Toronto area) to play in a Senior tourney and it was a ton of fun. Playing different teams on nice big parks was cool... and swinging the Senior sticks with good balls was very exciting vs the UTRIP bats and Hot Dots that they make us play with up here. Looking forward to the next trip down to play! |
| July 7, 2015 HPower | Topic: Bats Discussion: Dudley 12" with rattle. Thanks, k man! Ya, then they mucked their first try at the revision. I "think" our schedule is correct now... Friday @ 11:00am and 2:00pm, then 9:00am Saturday to complete the seeding games. |
| July 6, 2015 HPower | Topic: Bats Discussion: Dudley 12" with rattle. K, Thanks for the heads up on the schedule! Looks like our 1st game is 11:30 Friday, which means we can drive down Friday morning and do not need to stay over Thursday night. Our 2nd game Friday is at 3:30, so I may catch some of the 5:oclock game with you guys and Stefco. |
| July 5, 2015 HPower | Topic: Bats Discussion: Dudley 12" with rattle. That Schick thing was a joke, hence the ;) I am hoping (guessing) most umps will not toss a bat for having a rattle sound. My original question was, with a significant rattle, could this be the beginning of the end. Hopefully it is as you suggested, just a bit of resin rolling around in there and not some of the inner wall broken off. If an encap flew off on it's own, I would not think twice about just glue'n it back on. Forcing the cap off could leave someone open to some unwanted scrutiny. With the nature off most Senior bats having no warranty we are having to take our chances with the longevity of these things, but they also retail a third less than most ASA, UTRIP bats. For me, I will use this rattling bat until an ump says I can't and then it would be a BP bat. I like playing too much to risk the "chance" of ever being called on a altered bat and getting suspended. |
| July 4, 2015 HPower | Topic: Bats Discussion: Dudley 12" with rattle. I think most people might consider removing the endcap "tampering" with the bat. And while the endcap it off you might as well get the Schick razor out as well. ;) |
| July 3, 2015 HPower | Topic: Bats Discussion: Dudley 12" with rattle. k man, I am playing with Durham Silver Stix in the 50 division. There is a good chance you will meet up with some older buddies of mine that are on 2 different teams in your division... Stefco Silver Stix and Durham Silver Stix. There is also another team from Ontario going down, the Bandits, but they are playing 55s. 1 more week :) |
| July 3, 2015 HPower | Topic: Bats Discussion: Dudley 12" with rattle. Ya hemi, that was my first thought (hope) that it was just some cap resin floating around in there. With the bat advertized as only 50 swings, although it looks a little more weathered than that, that would make the most sense. The "pebble" seems to roll from the endcap to the handle as you tip the bat. On a few of my previous UTRIP bats they would eventually develop a rattle after tons of hits... it usually would not be long after that that the shark tooth would show up and then done! k, seems like Dudley is doing their best to look after you, I hope you get her back before next weekend. Syracuse is why I just picked up the Dudley, I will be going down next weekend for my 1st ever SSUSA tourney... looking forward to it! What team and division will you be playing? |
| July 3, 2015 HPower | Topic: Bats Discussion: Dudley 12" with rattle. Hey Guys, I just picked up a used 26oz Dudley 12", my first Senior bat. Took about 30 tee swings with it last night and it seems to hit about 10 feet further that my Freak12s (USSSA bats). It feels pretty good to swing, I was thinking I might have seen a little more distance vs my UTRIP bats? I did notice a fairly obvious rattle to the Dudley, it was advertized as only having 50 cuts on it. Buying a used Senior bat is a bit of a crapshoot, so I am not complaining, just wondering how much longer this "baby rattle" might last before it expires? |
