Looking to play in a few tourneys
I'm new to this site. Just turned 51. 6'3" 233 still bench 400. Play church league with the young guys. Looking to try the senior circuit in a few tourneys. Thought I would check them out. Any tournaments in the Bama area. I'm used to ASA and would love to play with 1.20 bats.

Can someone please correlate the bench press with softball?

So Ted Arcidi would have been a GREAT softball player?

The bench press numbers are simply to indicate that I keep myself in shape.

Actually, research has shown that some of the best power hitters also have a big bench and a big squat. A 400 bench usually is indicative of a power hitter. There is a reason Bonds, Maguire etc, used the roids to beef up. Strength puts the balls out. The research on slow pitch softball power and bench work is all over the internet.

Am I missing something or what? Here is a new guy, hoping to get into Senior softball and help grow the game we love. Some, though, just have to make foolish and disparraging remarks.
Obviously, he has not been back on the site and why should he? Just to be insulted again. The result, I needed a player, but have not heard from him. Hopefully, he fould a team closer to his home in south Alabama.
