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.
