In my opinion the 3' gets abused with speed on the pitch and thats what modified is for.

I agree they want it on a tee. 6 to 18 would be good if they wanted a limit.

stig1,

I agree we should and do give our opinions to the alphabet associations.

We only have the right to either buy their product or not.

I have not seen one National Organization run by softball players.
Why? It takes too much time and money.

When any of these organizations came up for sale I did'nt you, me ,einstein or the 10,000's of players reach in our pocket and buy them. If you or any one else wants the right to dictate I'm sure for the right price you could purchase one. Just my humble opinion.

Joe,

Yes we do disagree on some issue's. When it comes to very important issue's I don't consider softball one of those. That would be family, friends, business and etc.

Happy New Years

gman,

Speaking of Starpath I tried to get Dave "Tater" Allen out of retirement last year.

We will keep Larry in our thoughts and prayers.

maddog,

He never answers a question when the answer will not benefit his arguement.

Example: If the best players in our country(USA Team) have home run limits(10) and after that they are outs why should we be any different. If he answers it will be about some yellow ball or something about a complete different subject. Just like the Wizard.

Joe,

I love the bats no problem but Mr. Wizard you didn't answer my questions.
Thats a shock or maybe just a horse of a different color. Curtain just closed on you.

Einstein,

I agree and like the waiver but I can't get an answer why the young guys can't use our bats. Why do you think?

Does NORCAL have a younger division?
Does Vegas have a younger division?
I know very little about either organization

If so are they allowed to use U-2 and senior combats?

If no then why? If yes then game, set, and match.

If you want hot/balls and hot/bats see if they will go to T-4000 balls and Grey Ultra's why only settle for medium of the road bats and balls.

Didn't Gatti play with a team from down south last year in the ISA?

Why do you think that the younger divisions are not allowed to use the same equipment?

I think the young guys would want to hit with our equipment. I'm sure you know the answer but it would not make much sense to say it as they have better reflexes and so on.

I will not deny that it is a money maker for senior ball. I'm going to play no matter what bat or ball they use. Has any one thought about bringing back the T-4000 and the Grey Ultra being as seniors are a special group? Now that would be fun with a capital F. Why stop with only senior bats and 44/375 if thats what we want.

Joe hope you had a great Christmas

Joe,

My question to you would be does the other organizations have younger divisions if they do are they allowed to swing U-2? If not why?

ASA, USSSA, and NSA does so this maybe the reason. I was told by ASA they do their own testing and if the batted balls do not meet a certain safety criteria the bat never will be legal.

The bat is not the problem. You will never ever slow the game down by trying to control the bat.

You said the West ASA got cancelled but the East did not. So maybe that just shows two different ideas about softball. Some players just love to play softball no matter what and some love to play but only in their controlled enviroment.

Of course this is only my opinion.
