April 18, 2013 surf88	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: For the Reebok Reps: I can share that Reebok is still building quality composite bats and the new Reebok "Barrage" ASA/USSSA and Senior models will be out soon. The ASA/USSSA models will be introduced first and then the Senior models. The Reebok "Melee" ASA model and the "Melee Legend" Senior models are also being built. Both "Barrage" and "Melee" bats will be offered in a balanced and an end load option. The ASA and USSSA bats will have warranties. No warranties for the senior models. Thanks, Ed Andrews Andrews Companies Snct. Reebok Rep "Softball Equipment Sales" (970) 729-3145 batman@andrewsdev.com

April 16, 2013 surf88	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Public Forum VS Anonymity It seems this is an interesting topic. How do most of you feel about the ever rising anonymity of posts in this forum? Obviously there will be varying opinions. Mine is that I give more credibility to those posts that come from an individual who has made his/her identity known. I was under the assumption (perhaps incorrectly) that this is intended to be a public forum. Thanks for all constructive responses. Good luck on the fields this season! EA
April 12, 2013 surf88	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Southwest Championships, Vegas SSUSA: I hope this request is not problematic in any way but can you share with us when the brackets will be available for the 60AAA division? Really appreciate your assistance. EA
April 12, 2013 surf88	Topic: Bats Discussion: P413 revisited As I shared earlier, the P413 should be out in a short time and currently the senior bat is the only one in the process. There will be others to come. I am taking orders for those interested. A full one year warranty will accompany the P413. Contact me at info above. EA Surf88
April 12, 2013 surf88	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: How Weather Affects Softball Travel Distances: Can you imagine the distance some of you monster blasters can get on our fields here in Telluride, Colorado situated at 8,750 feet above sea level. Have been discussing a senior tournament with our local rec. dept. Thanks for the detailed info. EA
April 9, 2013 surf88	Topic: Bats Discussion: P413 revisited well spoken. Agreed.
April 9, 2013 surf88	Topic: Bats Discussion: P413 revisited Appreciate the feedback Bob. I asked to have the earlier thread closed because of the controversial nature stemming from the past history. I hope our communication was positive and that I was helpful to you. If I can help you and your pals with your current/future bat needs, I welcome the opportunity.

April 5, 2013 surf88	Topic: Bats Discussion: The "P413" is nearly ready Guys: we are all senior ball players and we were most probably all very competitive in the day with egos and perhaps issues. What hopefully has filtered in to our lives is faith, maturity, understanding and a calm. We read about players passing on and as time continues, we will experience more of the same. Not everything can be spelled out or discussed in a public forum. I understand passion and criticism. Perhaps as we discuss topics it would be wise to add a healthy respect to one another. I appreciate everyone I've met, dealt with, played with and against in senior ball and I hope you will excuse or forgive me if I have offended or hurt anyone on or off the fields. As I grow in the spirit, I continue to learn. I love to play ball and I whatever I do, work or play, I do it with passion and intensity. I try to make it count. Ed
April 5, 2013 surf88	Topic: Bats Discussion: The "P413" is nearly ready wood: you have every right to speak as you see fit. Your statements however do not change what I am about or what was said by me. If you read what I said, it said the bat is going shortly to the process of getting the stamp. It does not have a stamp today. Because I speak about this bat and about the group, does not in any way take away from my integrity or my reputation. I believe that the problems in the past stemmed from one man who did not do right by others and he is no longer a part of the company. The current owner has integrity and will do right by others, in my opinion. With regard to my roll with the company, it has not been completely defined. With regard to the product. I respect anyone who spends the time, the effort and the expense to bring a product to a quality level. To meet a quality level in the US is not an easy task and to do so, demands a great deal of time. I currently swing a Reebok Melee Legend. I believe it is the best approved senior bat out there. Others have different opinions. That makes the world go round. As time goes on, I believe technology and desire for quality will result in better products. In a short time, we will see what has been achieved by GSC and engineers. Thanks for your post. I appreciate it. EA
April 5, 2013 surf88	Topic: Bats Discussion: The "P413" is nearly ready wood: I am and have been a loyal Reebok rep. I was asked to be a part of the GSC direction and philosophy some time ago. I am a believer and my family is in support of my decision to be part of this. I will still continue to help people with their softball equipment goals and as I have for years. I was in SC for my 40th high school reunion and the factory was close to where we were staying. The company specializes in quality industrial fabrication and application of different media. Thanks for your input and reply. I will continue in my path to speak truthfully and to help ball players with their goals and needs. EA
April 4, 2013 surf88	Topic: Bats Discussion: The "P413" is nearly ready It was quite simple. It was a recreational tournament non sanctioned by any senior organization. I took the bat to the umpires and told them it was not approved and that I was testing it. I asked if they would allow me to use it to give feedback. Their response was to ask the opposing teams which I did and I offered the ability for them to use it in the games. The managers had no problem and the umpires allowed it.
April 4, 2013 surf88	Topic: Bats Discussion: The "P413" is nearly ready Scott: I understand your sentiment and concern. To be honest, I expected this and it is ok. My email(above)said bat is going to the approval stamp process. Once it is approved, manufacturing will begin. The hits I spoke of (above) are from players much younger, stronger and much more powerful than you and/or I. I stand by the information and by my words. I believe the information (above) to be true and correct. I am not known for false statements or actions. I thank you for your feedback. It is appreciated. Ed Andrews
April 4, 2013 surf88	Topic: Bats Discussion: The "P413" is nearly ready Friends, Some of you know that I have been involved with testing of a new senior bat, the "P413". The engineering, design and testing has been going on for 2 years and the bat is now ready to be manufactured and will be ready to ship to players in June. The "P413" has been tested by big strong young athletes with the goal to achieve top performance and to see if they could break it. Guys have been hitting monster shots with it and as of yesterday, the newest prototype has 1,820 hits on it. The performance is better than any other senior bat on the market and the durability is simply amazing. Can you imagine having a bat that you can hit all your bp and hit in tournaments for a full year and if you break it, you get a brand new replacement. I used a "P413" prototype in Bullhead City last month in 2 games. I hit 2 doubles and 2 singles with it and took an outfielder back to the fence. This prototype was given to me in early December so the technology was not as advanced as the current ones. I was very pleased with it. The bat goes out for the approval stamp in the next week or two. There will be a full one year warranty on the "P413" and that will be a no questions asked replacement warranty. The price is $230. If you are interested in one, I am taking orders now. The bats are made in the USA and I can help you get yours. Many of you have worked with me over the past three years and you know that I have met my obligations to you and have dealt honorably with you. Let me know how I may be of help to you.

April 3, 2013 surf88	Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Looking for a 60 and over softball team to play tournaments. chuco: where do you live?
March 31, 2013 surf88	Topic: Bats Discussion: ANYBODY HERE ANYTHING ABOUT DEAD REEBOK VECTORS? I was on the internet last night and saw Vectors on EBay for $79.00. I looked closely and realized the bat was not the Hank Garrison model composite softball bat. The Garrison Model is approved for ASA, NSA and ISA and it DOES HAVE GOOD POP. I have a couple left. Will try to email you Kennard. Ed
March 30, 2013 surf88	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Prayer For All I'd like to wish all a wonderful blessed Easter and a prayer for healing to those who are afflicted and for those who have lost loved ones. I wish to all good health and happiness. Thanks to all who work to allow us to play ball in tournament formats around the country. He has risen indeed. Ed Andrews
March 29, 2013 surf88	Topic: Bats Discussion: ANYBODY HERE ANYTHING ABOUT DEAD REEBOK VECTORS? Hello Kennard, I do in fact have a couple in stock and one may be a 28. I can check when I get to the office today. How you doing? One more week of skiing here and then mass exodus for the ocean resort areas. Later, Ed
March 25, 2013 surf88	Topic: Bats Discussion: ANYBODY HERE ANYTHING ABOUT DEAD REEBOK VECTORS? 5Tools: I respect your opinion.
