| June 7 SSUSA Staff 3501 posts | Just a bit of heads-up advice if you use these folks ... The dimensions in the product drop-down box for ordering SSUSA mats does not match our official size specification of 19" x 34½" ... Whether or not the product actually matches our official spec. is unknown ... Also, the 1/8" thickness is very thin, may not have long term durability and is more likely to slide around rather than stay in place ... The 1/4" mat, at $59.95, is a better option but not nearly as affordable as the ones we order from Sacramento Rubber ... |
| June 7 DieselDan Men's 75 602 posts | Plus, a thin mat is more likely to have moguls as it conforms to the dirt under it. Always felt a piece of plywood, with a "V" cut to slide up to the regular plate was a good option. It takes away the arguments about whether the ball got more dirt or the rubber plate and you sure can hear the ball hit the plywood. |

| Dec. 15 marcster13 102 posts | I think someone needs to make mats that light up when hit. In league and SSUSA I've seen many umps call a strike when the ball actually hits the dirt. Lots of day dreaming going on back there. Lol |

| Dec. 16 DaveDowell Men's 70 4323 posts | Doc22 ... Either way works ... Might be a bit easier if you call the SSUSA office at (916) 326.5303 and ask for Stephanie ... She orders on behalf of SSUSA and others frequently and might have a suggestion on a specific person to talk with at Sacramento Rubber ... |
| Dec. 17 marcster13 102 posts | B.J.- I've heard of "horseshoes & hand grenades" but maybe it should be "horseshoes, hand grenades and strikes" |
