| Feb. 20, 2015 DOERBAUM Men's 55 86 posts | r I WAS ALWAYUS TOLD "SWING THE HEAVIEST BAT YOU CAN, WITHOUT A DECREASE IN BAT SPEED, OR LOSS OF CONTROL". I DONT WANT TO BE TOO GEEKY HERE, BUT THE EQUATION "E=M*C2" TELLS YOU ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF ENERGY IMPARTED TO THE BALL. BAT SPEED IS KING, NOT BAT WEIGHT. FOR EXAMPLE: 29 X 80SQ. = 185600, 26 X 85SQ. = 187850. WHATEVER THOSE FINAL NUMBERS REPRESENT, THE LIGHTER WEIGHT AT THE HIGHER SPEED IMPARTS SIGNIFICANTLY MORE ENERGY TO THE BALL. THIS IS MY FIRST YEAR IN SENIOR SOFTBALL HERE IN WINTER HAVEN. 55 THIS YEAR AND THESE SENIOR BATS ARE SOOOO GOOD IT SEEMS LIKE I AM SWINGING A FIRST YEAR DIMARINI DOUBLEWALL AND I AM 30 AGAIN. THE ONLY BEEF I HAVE IS I CRACKED THE MIKEN I BOUGHT AFTER ABOUT 60 SWINGS. (NEVER USED BELOW 60). I HAVE SINCE PICKED UP THE MIKEN WITH A WARRANTY, A DUDLY 13" END LOAD, AND A USSSA MIKEN 1.20 FREAK SUPERMAX. GOT TO FIGURE OUT WHICH ONE FEELS THE BEST, AND TO ME THAT IS THE REAL KEY. TRY EVERYTHING YOU CAN GET YOUR HANDS ON, AND ONE OF THEM WILL SPEAK TO YOU. P.S. THIRD SWING WITH BOTH THE MIKEN AND THE DUDLY WENT ABOUT 340.... WHAT BREAK IN PERIOD!! HAVNT USED THE FREAK SUPERMAX YET. P.S.S. ALSO LOOKING FOR A TOURNAMENT TEAM CLOSE TO WINTER HAVEN. IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED IN A OLD WAR HORSE, HIT ME UP. PITCH, CATCH, SECOND, OR FIRST. THROW LEFT, BAT RIGHT. TOO MANY BACK SUGURIES FOR THE OUTFIELD (CANT RUN TOO FAST ANY MORE) |
