Discussion: stote balls

We used the Stote M.C.T. in 2020. Great Ball. We switched the Rock in 2021.The Home Runs doubled in number.When it got to a hundred degrees here in Houston.The Rock really performed well.

Discussion: Dont blame SSUSA for the ball problem.

The reason they have the Tattoo is most people do not like them..SPA uses them.They do not travel well in hot weather.

Discussion: Any Update on The Stote?

I bought 48 dozen XRocks back in April from BSN.That ball really holds up and flys in Texas heat and humidity. We had been using the Trump Microcell.

Discussion: Pitchers attire

I think those rules went away with Covid.We allow pitchers in our league to wear a batting glove or rubber glove on their pitching hand.I also saw the same in tournaments.

Discussion: New Virus-Regulations

If you need a face covering.You should not play.The email said catcher , and umpire are required to wear face covering.What about eateries in Texas they are only operating at 25% capacity..Try and buy materials for sanitizing. None of the stores have alcohol , or Lysol..Phase 3 in Texas outdoor sports will be addressed on May 22.So every day when go to hotel are you going to try and sanitize the room.We have 16 on our roster. We play with 11.Not sure we can get enough for a tournament.The manager sanitizing the balls is a joke so now he has to carry Lysol with him.Doctors say do not play until so many days after the last new case has been reported.What about the restrooms they are nasty, and out of toilet paper. So to be safe you have to sanitize the stall yourself before you use it.I am a softball junkie really suffering from no softball.Just remember should you get it you brig it home to your grand children.
