| July 18, 2015 17Black Men's 60 414 posts | Stadium "Show" Balls????? On TV Last night, watching the "Long Haul Bombers" Stadium Tour, bashing balls out of Major League Ball Parks, and/or completely out of stadiums. Just curious what kind of compression balls those guys are hitting??? That being said, I'm guessing they aren't really hitting retail bats either??? Just curious. |
| July 23, 2015 17Black Men's 60 414 posts | Tri18 Alan THANKS: Holy Cow!!!!!!!! 650 compression isn't a softball, it's a Wham-O :) That makes sense, we've all witnessed some incredible long balls in senior softball, but the stadium tour is ridiculous. Over the fence, over the bleachers, over the food stands, and over the wall into the parking lot. I think I saw one of those guys hit one 565, and that's where it went out of the stadium, not where it landed. Assuming that it went 600+, its like hitting it out of two softball fields. |

| July 23, 2015 Joey525i Men's 55 32 posts | As for the ball they use, it's called "Ultimate EVIL Long Haul Edition". This is a special edition ball built for the Long Haul Bombers, Stadium power tour. Non Sanctioned, 53 core 600 compression. |

| July 24, 2015 17Black Men's 60 414 posts | Here in Ohio, Sports Time Ohio (The TV Station that carries Cleveland Indians Games) picks up the Softball 360 Show, its been on a couple years. http://softball360.com/ The show is 30 minutes, and covers other softball topics from women's fast-pitch (high school/college/pro) to men's slow-pitch, softball hall of fame, and occasionally seniors too. I'd say 10 to 12 minutes is usually dedicated to the Long Haul Bombers Tour though. |
| Sept. 5, 2015 Bobby Buggs 90 posts | Joey is correct, That is the Evil Sports Ultimate Evil. Its been the Stadium power tour ball for the last 4 years. They know a good ball when they find it. http://www.evilsports.com/image.php?type=P&id=16269&ts=1441452932 |
