Aug. 3, 2008 mtman | Topic: Bats Discussion: Rip It senior bat ??? Any news on a new senior bat from Rip It ? Have not heard much about them for awhile. I know they are really into fastptich and baseball but was hoping they would have had a bat like the yellow one but legal for SSUSA. |
May 15, 2008 mtman | Topic: Bats Discussion: Miken RECOIL Not a great bat. Just ok and some of my team have the same problem with the break in. |
March 30, 2008 mtman | Topic: Bats Discussion: rip it elite model no#resr2 asa approved The old Senior ASA is on close out at 599 on line but the Reaper is at $279. Found it at the following; www.softball.com www.rallytimesports.com Sure there are more site but that is what I found. Hope that helps. |
March 30, 2008 mtman | Topic: Bats Discussion: top 3 asa bats Cast a vote for the Rip It Reaper. Great bat |
Feb. 6, 2008 mtman | Topic: Bats Discussion: Testing the new senior 1.20 bat Sorry guys, I just found out. There is a gag order for now. I guess it is really a big deal and I did not understand that part. The factory guy I can talk about when he gives me the green light. Again I am sorry for posting what I should not have. |
Feb. 5, 2008 mtman | Topic: Bats Discussion: Testing the new senior 1.20 bat Get to help test a new 1.20 senior bat tomorrow. Not sure why but shoulc be fun. I will post comments later. |
Jan. 1, 2008 mtman | Topic: Bats Discussion: Move to metal bats Not only shaved bats but ASA, USSSA, 1.20, it is just getting to hard to keep track of what is what. I think they want to keep it simple. Montana simple as they say. |
Jan. 1, 2008 mtman | Topic: Bats Discussion: Move to metal bats Our league is thinking of moving to metal bats only to handle the confussion and concerns of composite bats. Is this a wise move or an over reaction ? |

Dec. 1, 2007 mtman | Topic: Bats Discussion: Comosite bat ban for mid 2008 ? Sounds like this new rule might kill ASA in senior softball. Or maybe it is for the good. Not sure since I do not know what a 02mph bat will do. |
Dec. 1, 2007 mtman | Topic: Bats Discussion: Comosite bat ban for mid 2008 ? I am confussed. Is ASA banning all current composite bats or do the bat companies just have to stop making composite bat or do the companies have to stop making all current production bats ? |
Nov. 15, 2007 mtman | Topic: Bats Discussion: Hitting clinics I think Bill is working on a hitting dvd for spring. Based on my time around Bill on the field I am sure this dvd should be very good. I am not 100% on this so I hope not throwing him under the bus. |
Oct. 16, 2007 mtman | Topic: Bats Discussion: Hit the new Rip It senior bat I was invited by a friend to hit a prototype of the new Rip It senior bat. Did not have any paint or markings on it and no grip either. Have to say it was a little strange hitting without paint but the bat was great. Felt just like the yellow bat, nice swing and performance. We put a about 200 hits on it with no sign of cracking. We put some athletic tape on for a grip which helped. Bat hit as far as a U2 and as I said before felt just like the yellow bat. Hope I am not letting the cat out of the bag but I we really liked it. |
Oct. 5, 2007 mtman | Topic: Bats Discussion: Package deals ? How much and where do we get it. Would like to see the bat bag first. We are looking for a team deal also but want wheels on the bags. |
Sept. 22, 2007 mtman | Topic: Bats Discussion: Miken Legacy - Warranty????? buyer beware. Just another ploy by Miken. Tell me one good bat they have made over the past two years. |
Sept. 10, 2007 mtman | Topic: Bats Discussion: Combat I am not sure about all this CE stuff. Heard from a friend that knows a guy that has an uncle that knows the wife of a guy that there is a big change around the bend. This change will have a major impact on the senior bat market. |
Sept. 9, 2007 mtman | Topic: Bats Discussion: What could this be ??? So if not Miken than who ? I heard the new Miken is a U2 with a warranty for $299 or with without for $199. Wow what a deal ! We may be old but not dumb. Sounds like somthing a used car dealer would pull. |
Aug. 28, 2007 mtman | Topic: Bats Discussion: BREAK in PERIODS & "BEST' BATS!! A team member has the AV and we talked about that today. It seems to break in very fast maybe 50 hits or so. We all liked the bat very much and enjoyed the pop and swing until we switched to the new bat which has more pop and a better swing at least for us. The Reaper started to hit better at 80 or so hits. Hard to tell since some of the guys are hitting well right out of the wrapper while other notice a break in. As you can tell we are not very smart in this bat thing. We do like the Reaper more than any of the other bats but I know this does not answer your question. We can tell you it takes at least three beers to break us in. :) |
