| , March 17, 2014 ffdonnie | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Huntsman World Senior Games This year will be my 4th consecutive year. I've had a lot of fun each year, but I've noticed a slow decline in participation. Reasons I've heard is as BruceAZ stated above. And also it's too close to the Worlds for a lot of people. Good luck with any positive changes you make and thank you. Don. |
| , March 12, 2014 ffdonnie | Topic: Bats Discussion: New tps Last I heard (read) was not till July at the earliest. I used this bat in Vegas last year and loved it. The one I used held together, but saw several shark-toothed (verb?) |

| , Jan. 2, 2014 ffdonnie | Topic: Bats Discussion: Reebok Barrage Legend is GREAT BAT Update with the Barrage; Reebok called me today and is sending my money back, all of it. They don't have any bats to send out right now. That's cool, better then what happened to the people who bought another company's bat and got nothing. Thanks. |
| , Dec. 31, 2013 ffdonnie | Topic: Bats Discussion: Reebok Barrage Legend is GREAT BAT This is where I sent mine, but I don't have an email or phone # for them, and I don't know if you need one. I would think you do. The guy I bought it from let them know I was sending it in. Reebok International Senior Bat R&D 1895 JW Foster Blvd. Canton, Mass. 02021 |
| , Dec. 30, 2013 ffdonnie | Topic: Bats Discussion: REEBOK BARRAGE vs MIKEN ULTRA 2PIECE MAXLOAD Rich I will thanks, and Happy New Year be safe. To Mark, I heard you got yours already. I was hoping for the same but I guess I have to be patient. (I'm not real good at patient, oh well) And this info was from Alan. |
| , Dec. 24, 2013 ffdonnie | Topic: Bats Discussion: REEBOK BARRAGE vs MIKEN ULTRA 2PIECE MAXLOAD Nothing. Reebok won't send out replacements to Dean and I until they produce another batch, or some BS like that. It's the last dime I spend on any Reebok product. I bought it because the salesman swore that it would be more durable then the Melee. So they took my money, gave me junk from China and as a bonus, shitty customer service. Like I said earlier don't buy this bat. Merry Christmas everyone. |
| , Dec. 20, 2013 ffdonnie | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: 1 up rule If the rule had to be changed (shouldn't have) then the 1-up should have been the rule to go to. Two power teams still have fun when they meet, AND teams with lesser power can/are very competitive. You here us tout NCSSA a lot on here, this rule is a big reason why. SSUSA really blew it all the way around with this one. Donnie. |
| , Nov. 19, 2013 ffdonnie | Topic: Product review Discussion: Miken Senior Bat Review- shich is the best bat of the 3? Ultra II Black one piece- Best pop/distance. No durability. Ultra Two-piece White- Took 200 swings to fully break in, then promptly broke. I didn't like it, then the last 10 swings of its life it was as hot as my Melee, then it was done. Ultra II Gray Two-piece? - The first gray one piece was great with a light endload. No durability.(I don't think there is a gray two-piece. Could be wrong?) |
| , Nov. 19, 2013 ffdonnie | Topic: Bats Discussion: REEBOK BARRAGE vs MIKEN ULTRA 2PIECE MAXLOAD Better wait on the Barrage. Mine broke in 35 swings, and my team mates lasted 40 swings. I can't even say it was hot out of the wrapper, I was only taking 50% swings. Alan had me ship it back to Reebok and he says they will replace it, but you might want to wait to see what we say about the replacement. Sorry Alan this is probably not what you want to hear but I'm just being honest. I haven't heard anything yet (except this thread) but it has only been a week. If you remember the Melee had first batch issues also. It's still the hottest bat out there. Don. |
| , Nov. 4, 2013 ffdonnie | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Corky Does anyone really know if he was forced out? Or are you guys just jumping to conclusions? |
| , Oct. 10, 2013 ffdonnie | Topic: Bats Discussion: New Reebok Barrage 2 Piece Ed is this a senior 2 piece bat? Corky was at BLD saying Reebok wasn't going to release one. |

| , Sept. 16, 2013 ffdonnie | Topic: Product review Discussion: Softball and hot weather!! Marv the Fire Ball we use is the unlicensed one. Model #2SB550YS. The ball has no assoc. stamps (obviously) nor compression ratings on it. I also enjoy play with this ball for all the reasons above. I, and my BP partners, have noticed serious bat degradation after every tourney we have been in with the ISA Rock. But honestly I have not seen this with the Fire Ball. What that means is for you to decide, just my observations. |
| , June 23, 2013 ffdonnie | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Making a ball choice for a recreational league. Dog, yes my comparison is to the .44 ball with ASA bats. |
| , June 17, 2013 ffdonnie | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Making a ball choice for a recreational league. The 52 cor ball stinks for more standard size fields, but would be your best bet for such a tiny field. 40 cor ball travels far unless its hot out, and I'm not real sure about 47-375 ball. I'm only familiar with the 47-500 (don't use it). The 52's are very limited it flight compared to the 44cor and should hold up well. But warn the infielders, the thing bounces in the infield like a rubber ball. Just my practical experience and opinion. |

| , June 7, 2013 ffdonnie | Topic: Bats Discussion: 2 piece Ultra broke after 6 games..... extremely disappointed I broke my third Reebok this year in Reno and bought a 2 piece EL out of frustration (same reason I switched to Reebok 2 years ago. Put about 45 swings on it today, and though it's not broke in yet it is a very good bat. Not as hot as a new Reebok but if it lasts a little longer it will be well worth it. I'm not holding my breath though. Mario there is no way your team should be an indicator of a bats durability haha. I saw a couple innings at Reno's finest facility, Rancho San Rafael (Reno you should be ashamed)and was wondering who let the football team in. |
