Oct. 12 einstein Men's 50 3112 posts | Just got off the phone with the infamous Stoneman and we were talking about shaved/altered bats in seniors. It's still my contention that they are hardly present due to how much pop they have but he thinks more and more guys are altering senior bats. Is this really a problem in seniors? I don't think so but what do you say? What I DO know is that guys want to hit balls fast and far. It's a congenital condition common to most ball players and if you dumb down balls and/or restrict bats like ASA does/did then you open the door to bat doctors and illegal equipment. Gary Tryhorn has said for years that letting us use Ultra 2's is the way to keep illegal bats out of seniors hands. Personally, I don't care about rolled bats as they just help a bat break in and don't alter its leverage point, end load or wall thickness. We want/need/deserve and will get good bats/balls for seniors and everyone needs to sit up, take notice and not do stupid things to jeopardize the good time had by all. |
