| June 21 Omar Khayyam 1357 posts | Thanks, mad dog, for the invite. Just got blasted as a “fluffy intellectual piece of nothing” for pointing out that a 73 degree day is not hot in my opinion, so hot that it would distort a ball’s performance. Actually, I was wrong about the period in question. At noon, it was 64, partly cloudy, with a “wind chill” of 7 mph; 66 at 1:00 with a 12 mph breeze; 72 at 2:00 with a 12 mph; and 73 at 3:00 with the same cooling breeze. Evidently few 400 foot shots were hit and so the ball was blamed. But I am open-minded. As I said in my post, I don't remember hitting a Spirit ball on a 90 degree day. Does it really degrade a lot from the heat? You Texas guys seem to have a lot of tournaments. How many options do you have on where to play on a summer weekend and still play in the state? |
| June 21 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | we do have a slight heat prol here,LOL.i found out about the MCT's about 5 yrs back,ASA doesn't allow them anymore as the comp is kinda skewed b/c of the soft outer layer.i have some 47 spirits in my bp bin and they ok.i have hit spirits(44-375/400) before in st george i think,and they did ok from what i remember. the kids on a couple of softball boards i visit are using the 52-275 and have very few complaints,mostly from the composite hero's,that's all. |
| June 21 Omar Khayyam 1357 posts | mad dog, I think you're right. I might have hit Spirits at the Huntsman, and some afternoons it can get into the high 80s, although it is a dry heat. Don't remember any complaints about balls there (mostly about sandbagging), but with the way you're treated as a player, the fabulous views, and the immaculate fields, probably grousing about the ball would be considered uncharitable. |
| June 21 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | i can agree about the huntsman games.they have the prettiest views around.they have used diff balls there,and i have had no prol with them regardless how they hit.they used to use the NSA ball which is a 44-400 ball,now they use the 44-375. |
