| Dec. 10, 2012 big cat7 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: AAA Home Run Outs I played on a class a team in the mid 80's and there were no limits we played major teams class b teams c teams and it was all you could hit and no one ever cried about it when they went to limits it first was a limit on hitters you could have so many home run hitters and then they were outs if anyone else hit them.3 homers are fine but it should be walks after not outs.in 1986 and 87 i played on a class a church team we played in every usssa tournament that we could , we played against steeles , howards, maroadi tranfer,smythe and got beat but it was fun one of the highlites of my career that i will always remember was playing bruce meades team ken michaels and i had hit three outand the fourth time they walked me intentionally. that doesnt sound like much but for a major team to walk a little church player was a big deal to me, that was when softball was fun you knew going in who was there and you either chose to play with them or you didnt |
| Dec. 10, 2012 big cat7 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: AAA Home Run Outs what is the difference if a team scores thirty runs with forty hits or scores thirty by hitting fifteen homers? the name of the game is to score more runs than the other team who cares how its done.if i build my team around power and you build yours with ten guys that base hit the heck out of the ball dont you think that on some days conditions will help either team. some days the wind could be blowing in and the base hitting team will win some days blowing out for the power team.thats the idea of sports you take your chances and just play your game .i loved the old days and the pitching idea of here it is im serving it up to you get yours because we are going to get ours |
| Dec. 10, 2012 big cat7 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: AAA Home Run Outs Doesnt anyone remember softball when it was in its best years, that was unlimited homers and play in whatever class you chose to play in, if you were to good for that class you got bumped up. i played in many tournaments where major and aa teams played class b and c teams and the b and c teams never cried about it.Then came the home run rules and in my opinion thats when things stared going down hill the bats getting juiced up and so forth.And i know bats were juiced back in the good old days to but who cared you hit em or you didnt.Now senior ball is going the same way everyone is crying about home runs,why do players want to penalize people that work hard on their game and can still hit them out.Maybe there are no major teams in their area or they dont want to travel all the time just to play.Home runs should never be outs after the limit is reached.Noone should be penalized for still being able to hit |
| Nov. 18, 2012 big cat7 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Phoenix What bat seems to be the popular choice in phoenix at the winter worlds?I still havent seen many reviews on the new ultra or twilight, some people have said that they hit them but havent gone into much detail. |
| Oct. 19, 2012 big cat7 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Phoenix i understand that a bigger stronger person will swing harder and have more bat speed but what effect does this have on a two piece bat.i know they will flex more but is this a good or bad thing?and what type of bat should a person with alot of bat speed use a two piece or one piece? |
| Oct. 11, 2012 big cat7 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: LV World Tournament Discussion As a senior player it would be nice to see the rosters of the major teams in the 50s and 60s brackets just to see who plays on each team and to see what older superstars are still in the game |

| July 6, 2012 big cat7 | Topic: Bats Discussion: REEBOK vs. MIKEN This year i have broken one reebok senior bat and two miken maxload ultra 2s, i sent the reebok back to their office and got a new replacement within two weeks no questions asked. I had maybe thirty hits on the bat.I sent the miken back with also thirty swings on it and they sent it back to me saying it was a no warranty bat. I guess thats why so many people are switching to reebok.Im done with mikens it will be reeboks and maybe the new demarini the one.And i do understand miken did not have to replace the bat as it is a no warranty bat but so was the reebok. So big thanks to reebok for taking care of customers first |
| June 21, 2012 big cat7 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Miken Ultra II balanced and end load. I just got a red ultra 2 maxload with the 1.21 stamp and have had no problems with it.It seems to hit as good as any of the other red ultras ive had in the past.also have a new reebok senior melee and my first swing out of the wrapper was a home run.My opinion on the two bats and its just my opinion is that they are pretty equal but it seems that the u-2 has a bigger sweet spot.Has anyone hit the new demarini i heard that it was hot. |

| June 8, 2012 big cat7 | Topic: Bats Discussion: softballs so mad dog are you saying there isnt much difference between the 44/375 and the 52/275? does the 52 stay as hard as the 44 over the length of a game.and are you saying that it doesnt matter if its hot and humid the 52 doesnt change? |
| June 7, 2012 big cat7 | Topic: Bats Discussion: softballs AND I JUST FOUND OUT WE WERE GOING TO PLAY SOME NSA BALL AND THEY USE 52/275 BALLS TO SOMEONE THAT HAS HIT THEM HOW ARE THEY |
| June 7, 2012 big cat7 | Topic: Bats Discussion: softballs How does the 50/300 ball compare to the 44/375?We have been using the 44/375 baden fire ball which is a very good ball and in some tournaments they are using the 50/300 ball.I know in cooler weather the 50 cores are okay bu what about on hot summer days? |

| June 6, 2012 big cat7 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Reebok senior melee I had a reebok break after 50 swings this year and sent it back to reebok, they replaced it in two weeks.I was amazed that it came back so fast and that they replaced it. I want to thank the people of reebok and to say if you have any problems with reebok they will try to fix them. THANKS REEBOK |

| April 12, 2012 big cat7 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Bat break in time I got a reebok melee at the end of last year after using and breaking a couple of ultra maxloads and have only put maybe 75 swings on it so far, my question is to anyone else out there using a melee how long did it take for yours to break in? I know its going to vary with each person but im just trying to get an idea of the normal break in time before i pass judgement on which is the better bat |
