Discussion: How did you get your start in softball?

i started late in slow pitch,i was at schofield barracks hawaii in 1979 and played with the company team,i was a real good outfielder but could not hit worth a crap.

because they think someone is going to get hurt,so they ban the hotter bats,but its not the bats it the ball thats the key.and einstein is right you are a trouble maker,or an anonymous clown as he would say it.you talk about name calling and you put an fj at the end,grow up.

Discussion: hotbats

first off let me get this out first,i support having senior bats and the trump stote 44/375 ball.Defense is being played with this bat and ball combo,every tournment i go to you see great defense,most any one can field a slow roller from a mush ball,games are very competive for example our 6 games in phoenix our team put up 17,29,19,19,33,and 22,we lost 3 and one 3 all very good games which i think everyone enjoyed,anyone want to post the amount of teams at asa or nsa or usssa.ok i have said to much already,i posted this because i have a question to mad dog,i have never hit the 52 275 but i want to try to get one to hit it,i see on direct sports they are selling a hotdot clasic plus 52/275 is this the ball you are talking about.

Discussion: Good info

i cant remember who said it but someone said lord,those guys should not be pitching.not sure who said it but i'm sure i read it.yep eyes are in the front of my head lol,i will try to explain when you move your head your not turning it around you just move it to the side away from the ball,so seeing the ball is still not a problem.and i dont think i can make the play by flinching or turning i know i can.if you want to keep your head in front of the ball and are comfortable with thats great.i know my way is not the normal but it works for me.

Discussion: Good info

here we go again people telling me to get off the mound.i turn my head when a 100 mph plus bullet is screaming at my head,and guess what i have no problems catching it and if i miss it guess what no face shot.its very easy its all one movement with the glove and head at the same time.i also catch alot of balls behind me lets here your expert opinion about that.i'm against screens,or any rules that are against hitting the middle,i often throw a pitch looking for a middle shot,nothing gets me blood flowing more then a double play when the other team is getting a big inning going.i might not be the best fielding pitcher out there but i think i do a good job at it.

Discussion: Balls in general

ok i have to throw my opinon in here also,i think a good ball is important for the senior game,the last thing i want to see is 6 to 4 games but the micro ball is just to much with the senior bats.i have hit the trump stote in the heat with a senior bat and it will go out of the park,i dont consider myself a homerun hitter but i can take one out now and then,with the micro rock i can not catch it solid and i will get it out with a senior bat.while i'm at it home runs for a out i hate that rule,ppr hate that also,screen for the pitcher nope dont like that either.keg on second base ok i will go for that.
