Jan. 31, 2025 Oldballs | Topic: Bats Discussion: No Harm No Foul Bat Testing I am Glad to see SSUSA allow the players who want to make sure they are using bats that meet standards to get their bats pre-checked so we can POLICE OURSELVES and help get a problem under control. Thank You SSUSA job well done. |
Jan. 22, 2025 Oldballs | Topic: Bats Discussion: Bat Testing I know this has been beat to death but here goes. I have a Red Melee 12 that I started hitting last fall from NEW IN Wrapper purchased from Suncoast Rep. I have a Green Melle Max I used last year that was New In Wrapper after September purchased from a Suncoast REP.I have an Orenge Melee3 Reload hit all of last season purchased New In Wrapper from Suncoast in 2023. I am in 65AAA and IF I ASKED TO HAVE BATS CHECKED THE DAY BEFORE WE PLAY so I can Either leave them in CAR or in my Hotel Room if they are below compression that is gonna result in penalties? |
Jan. 16, 2025 Oldballs | Topic: Bats Discussion: Rolled bats Murray W I am not worried if they did " Confiscate " my bat for further testing. They have ALL been purchased thru either SUNCOAST or a SUNCOASR REP. and have NEVER been used nor been out of MY possession. I am just curious to see where they are at in compression. If they are below what is allowed I will replace them with New bats. To SSUSA I think that asking to have a bat tested would be Welcomed to help ELIMINATE bats that may just be well used. Guess it is just to much of an INCONVENIENCE for tourny Directors to work with players who WANT to be within the Rules. SAD,SAD,SAD !!!!!!!!! |

Oct. 21, 2024 Oldballs | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Winter "Worlds" Quit having so many Associations scheduling tournaments on the same weekends. EVERY tourny now is a "RING TOURNAMENT". Rings are nothing more than Participation trophies anymore. Keep the COST DOWN and MORETEAMS can afford to play. CUT DOWN to 2 days for Divisions with only 3 or 4 teams in them. In short REDUCE COSTS. |
