| Dec. 6, 2010 gary c 418 posts | ONE MORE TIME What is the best singlewall to use? |
| Dec. 6, 2010 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | not sure,but if you can use a composite handle for your bat,look into the demarini white steel,also there was one just before that one from demarini.some of the andersons are pretty good,check and see if the nanotech is single wall.most all the aluminum 405's,bats(all mfg'ers) were pretty good. |
| Dec. 6, 2010 gary c 418 posts | Thank's mad dog |
| Dec. 6, 2010 DMac Men's 60 207 posts | The Demarini Ultimate Weapon is an excellent bat and inexpensive |
| Dec. 6, 2010 einstein Men's 50 3112 posts | I don't get it. After world records for participation by SSUSA at Phoenix this year and every major senior softball association approving senior bats and minimum of good 44 x 375 balls why would seniors be interested in a single wall bat? Is nobody trying to suggest that seniors should get ready to buy single wall bats because some right wing purists and self interested others want to try to return our game to the "holiness" and purity of kinder, gentler, softer softball where they just happen to eliminate competition on the way? They could call it Fatherland sports or SSoF Senior Softball of the Fatherland and it's regulatory force or police could be the double SS-SS or senior softball for softer softballs. Hey, now. This is America and anyone, communists, nazis, cannibals or make the world safe for softballers have a right to exist and form their own group to promote their own interests. Really, they do. |
| Dec. 6, 2010 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | yes Dennis they are pretty good,also.there is a bat between that one and the white steel,can't remember the name..wait just remembered,the vexxum,it was a half and half also(composite handle,al barrel).also the white steel will fold in cold weather,unless you will using the 52-275/300 ball. were the demarini 375's single or double wall,anyone know... |
| Dec. 6, 2010 salio2k Men's 60 547 posts | einstein........SSUSA is not the only game in town.....there are some leagues that allow seniors, but not their senior bats. Some leagues only allow single wall bats. |
| Dec. 6, 2010 ju25 Men's 60 236 posts | Hey Almighty One, self proclaimed voice of senior softball, some leagues have bat restrictions. The man asked a simple question, if you don't have a worthwhile contribution, please butt out. 375 is a doublewall, alot of guys love the white steel(composite handle and heavy end load) Ultimate Weapon, Anderson Pyrotech are good inexpensive choices. Used to swing a TPS Gold with 47/525 balls and loved that bat. |
| Dec. 6, 2010 Jose #12 Men's 60 89 posts | Einstein, Salio2k is right. We are all not so fortunate to play leagues with senior bats. All the local Pa and De leagues are single wall. The DeMarini White (Gray, Maroon)is the best I've found. I also have one of the old TPS bats but not sure if it's double wall. |
| Dec. 6, 2010 DoubleL10 Men's 70 907 posts | At least our senior leagues here in OKC allow USSSA bats! The senior league in Houston allows all senior bats. When I last played masters league in Virginia (1999), we could only swing single walls then. That was before composites came out. There are apparently a lot of senior leagues that do not allow senior bats. |
| Dec. 6, 2010 einstein Men's 50 3112 posts | All right, guys. Who would I be if it wasn't for free speech and egalitarian concerns of all kinds. It's just that I can smell this guy coming from miles away (anyone really can) and he's fundamentally disingenuous. He said he's out to get me and get at me many times and has evidenced even more. As for single wall bats. Demarini 375 and the all black single wall Demarini were good ones for me when hitting good balls. |
| Dec. 6, 2010 Webbie25 Men's 70 2414 posts | I always thought the Demarini Ultimate Weapon made from the CU31 alloy was the best single wall-I continued to use it and kick butt with it well after the double walls came out.(I couldn't afford a double wall). It also lasted pretty well. They made a CU31 double wall for a little bit and then it disappeared, but one of our guys had it for several years. |
| Dec. 6, 2010 Pitcherman Men's 50 46 posts | Seems like someone is a bit paranoid! If you want someone not to attack you, it may be a good idea not to jump into their threads and start the attack. |
| Dec. 6, 2010 gary c 418 posts | Thanks guys for the help I appreciate it. As for the VOICE OF SOFTBALL I never said I was going to get you I said I wanted nothing to do with you when you wanted me to contact you. You were the only person who didn't stay on subject but that's nothing new . THANKS AGAIN GUYS FOR YOUR HELP GARY C |
| Dec. 6, 2010 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | How about the Ritch's Superior Green Monster? I'm sure there are a few still around. I have a 32oz, new in wrapper. I know their durability wasn't very good with 50 cor balls, don't know how they would do with 44's. |
| Dec. 7, 2010 gary c 418 posts | just went on e bay can't believe the price of white steel bat. Have they always been that expensive? |
| Dec. 7, 2010 zonk 55 posts | The Demarini 375 is a doublewall bat. Some pure singlewall leagues are banning the Nanotek. A nice alternative is the Anderson KSP. Performance depends a lot on what balls are used. |
| Dec. 7, 2010 ju25 Men's 60 236 posts | White Steel MSRP 189.95 can be had for 149.95 at Direct Sports or Kellys Ultimate. Closeout Bats have a no warranty for 129.95. Personally I would save my money and go with the Ultimate Weapon. |
| Dec. 7, 2010 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | YEAH GARY THE WHITE STEEL HAS ALWAYS BEEN A LITTLE PRICEY,FOR HOW LONG THEY CAN LAST.COLD WEATHER IS NOT GOOD FOR THEM. ZONK THE NANOTEK IS A SINGLE WALL,JUST ASKING AS I DON'T KNOW,WHATS THIS KSP YOU SPEAK OF... |
| Dec. 7, 2010 zonk 55 posts | Robert (I am Frank), the NT is a SW; it says so on the barrel. Also, ASA agrees; as, their stamp is on it. However, the NT performs close to most composites, plus, the NT sleeve makes it look like a PST, EST, RT, etc. It also retails for 299.99. Thus, the ban. Bruce: I have a 28oz green monster; and, it hits Dudley THs 44/375 well. |
| Dec. 7, 2010 zonk 55 posts | mad dog: I forgot to add, the KSP from Anderson takes the place of the Pyrotech line. It retails for 199.00; and, is a singlewall. Performs a shade under the Nanotek. |
| Dec. 7, 2010 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | thanks zonk,i don't really keep up on the andersons that much,last was the techzilla that i saw. |
