| Nov. 2, 2008 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | usssa major balls here's what i found when i hit them yesterday hey guys got to hit the usssa major ball today(i guess its the 40-375 ball,right kev)well i decided to test them against my senior bats along with others i have. i was told these balls have been hit a hundred or so times each at least.temp was between 75-82 for the day as we hit,slight out going wind. senior bats = 1 gray combat game ready 26 oz bal;1 ultra-2 ,ASA stamped, just about game ready if not already 27 oz;1 red combat 26 el 3/4 toward game ready.: usssa bats(all of these are game ready) 1 syn-2 26 oz ; 1 combat virus 26 oz el;1 miken 585 26 oz: ASA bats 2 rip-it fast pitch 1- 26 oz,1- 25oz;1 rip-it reaper 26 oz,1 combat virus fast pitch 24 oz round 1 senior bats all 3 of these bats hit the ball good.i had a few out with them(we hit 24 balls each round,not each bat tho) and the ball came off the bat real nice.i will say you guys who hit them out now will still be doing it with them if the senior org's go to them. round 2 usssa bats i will tell you there was no prol in taking balls out with my utrip gamers.balls jump off the bat just like my gray combat. round 3 ASA bats these bats are not as broke in as my other bats and the ball still came off them nice and hard,came close to getting some out,rattled the fence but thats as close as i could do.i think i finally got a little tired and my bats not being fully broke in yet as maybe a good reason they just wouldn't clear the fence. if the dumbed down ball is going to be this one then i have no prol with it.this ball seems to hold up real good,for right now.we have to wait for the heat of texas to see how they work then.so i say the usssa maojor ball will be a GTG.so for you guys who are mashers now i wouldn't worry about this ball as it will travel the 301' that we need to clear the fence with.some of the young guys who were hitting were getting in the mid 300's(330-360') for flight. kevin is the ASA ball that walk tested the same specs or what. |

| Nov. 3, 2008 Foothills Men's 55 95 posts | It is my understanding that the new balls will be 47 cor 300 comp. A 40/275 ball will actually go better than a 44/375 . The lower cor is not as flexible so it allows the compression to be more of a factor . that is the reason the new senior ball , if I remember correctly , will be a hiher COR and a lower compression . This combination will counter effect the senior bats the best . This is their intention . JB |

| Nov. 3, 2008 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | heard the same foothills,higher COR low comp not good.the 40-375 i think would be a good ball to use.will let the guys who can hit them out still do it,while slowing down the pretenders(senior bat hero's). |
