Forgot to add....Even our local senior leagues (ages 50 to mid 80) voted for senior bats and FIREBALLS.

Yes, I would play with any combination of bats/balls. However, My preference is with current senior bat/ball combo. BTW, in Pensacola we put on 3 tournaments a year, 1 qualifer, Women's Spring National and Men's Winter National and from conversation with teammembers the popular choice is senior bats and FIREBALLS.

Waiting for sofball and plaque bills

This was a qualifer and most of the staff are volunteers. Without a corporate sponsor and using volunteers the local senior association will make a few hundred dollar (maybe. There is no great profit in putting on qualifers. The main reason(s) for doing...Love of the game, advertise the community we live in, and most importantly, an opportunity to meet old friends who are still playing.

Discussion: Bat Doctor Needed

Scrappy, I agree with most you posted, however, the compamy I worked for provided the raw materials(resin, rosin, adhesives, binder, etc) to the manufacturer who made the finally product, I can say that certain companies want the material on their QA target, other companies gave a plus or minus and sometimes to a large degree in order to buy off-spec material that would go into the same end product. I would venture a guess that the QA in the buyer of off spec materials could care less about getting their product right...Just one example, a bat, a very popular one state that it was 27oz, when placed on a certified scale it read 30.0 oz. Performance and durability can be met for a reasonable price.

Discussion: Bat Doctor Needed

This past week saw 5 brand new, out of the shipping box bats broken on the first few swings. All the bats were Miken Red Ultra or Ultra II. 2 of the batters were in their seventies, the rest late sixties. gentlemen, things need to be done. In our after game "Shot the breeze" we discussed a few items to put pressure on the bat makers.

If paid by credit card contact your card bank and make a claim for defected equipment.

Start a blog, facebook, my space, etc to start more threads about poor performing equipment.

Frequently call the manufacturer with your concerns.

Call the suppliers about your issues.

And finally boycott the product. BTW, do all this in a polite way.
