| Oct. 21, 2019 ETDave | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Asa bats I've used my old ASA Easton Extended in a few tournaments, but is it clearly stamped 1.20. |
| Sept. 12, 2019 ETDave | Topic: Bats Discussion: Qualified bats Woops! Mck71 not 41. |
| Sept. 12, 2019 ETDave | Topic: Bats Discussion: Qualified bats Mck41, that's exactly how I understand it also. |
| Sept. 12, 2019 ETDave | Topic: Bats Discussion: Qualified bats I've used my original Easton Extended in tournaments before with no problem, but it does have the 1.20 stamp on it. |
| Jan. 28, 2019 ETDave | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Best bat-ball combinations I play in the same senior league with mad dog. We've used the 52/300 balls for years. I love them. I'm like him, a "tweener" that hits an occasional home run honestly by mistake. I try to line drive the ball and occasionally get under one that goes out. I've hit more out with my old Easton Extended than anything, but that's because I use it so much. I bought an Demarini Flipper thinking it would outhit my senior bats with this ball, but it doesn't. I'm lucky in that I have a large yard that I can hit balls off a tee in. My senior bats are a good 15-20 feet farther off the tee than the Flipper. My Extended is about middle ways between those two. |
| Nov. 20, 2018 ETDave | Topic: Product review Discussion: use of High COR, Low Compression ball We've used these balls in senior league for years. Our senior league also allows females over fifty to play. We are the only team in the league with two females and we still averaged 17 runs a game with these balls. There's nothing wrong with them. Some folks use senior bats, some don't. Most everyone in our league uses the Tattoo NX3 52/300. |
| July 24, 2018 ETDave | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: College Station just another screwed up tournament He has quite a reputation for this and it's justified. Our Sunday game was scheduled for 8:30, when we got to the park it had been moved to 10:00 am. Happens in his tournaments all the time. A new director or a better attitude from him about taking care of business would be great. |
| May 22, 2018 ETDave | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: miken sunglasses with changable lenses The frames flex enough that you can just pull them out. Nothing to take off. It's easy after you do it a time or two. |

| May 21, 2018 ETDave | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Heart of Texas - Georgetown I played there this past weekend and we played Saturday morning at 6 am, then at 9:45. Our next scheduled game then was at 9:00 Saturday night. The tournament was running behind by then and we started after 10 and then had to play another game directly after that one. After we got back to our room and showered it was almost 2 am before I got to bed. I think saying on the website that the cutoff was 52 teams and having from what I was told 58 teams allowed to enter probably contributed to the crazy schedule. I told our son after we got back home about it. He doesn't play ball and hasn't since Little League about it and his exact words were "Was someone new running it that didn't know what they are doing?" L.Martin I don't think it's asking too much for someone running the tournament to have a certain amount of competence. It is, after all, a customer driven business. |
| Feb. 22, 2018 ETDave | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: WOULD YOU QUIT PLAYING? I guess I'm part of that evil force. lol I've played with the 52/300 in league for several years and have no problem at all with it. So, the answer is no, I wouldn't quit. |
| Feb. 14, 2018 ETDave | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Today's "super" bats Another advantage of the 52/300 is our senior bats will last a loooong time hitting them. |
| Feb. 13, 2018 ETDave | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Today's "super" bats Good post fennellwg! |
| Feb. 13, 2018 ETDave | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Today's "super" bats DCPete and Crusher I play league ball in Tyler. I'm almost 61 and can hit the 52/300 out with an ASA bat. I usually hit 3-4 every 24 games or so. I'm 5'8" and could stand to lose 30 lbs or so, so it should be easy for people taller and in better shape. 300 foot fences all around. All I can tell you is that in my experience it would be safer ball for seniors. I thought this thread was about the bats being too hot and the 52/300 lets you still hit the ball out but does much less damage if you are hit by the ball. MadDog plays league there too and might have some thoughts if he sees this. Looks like I struck a nerve suggesting it. Sorry. |
| Feb. 13, 2018 ETDave | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Today's "super" bats I guess you can't edit your posts here. My post above should have said the hops weren't any worse than when we used the 44/375 balls. |
| Feb. 13, 2018 ETDave | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Today's "super" bats I'm guessing a lot of you guys dismissing the 52/300 ball as a bad idea haven't played that much with them. We've used them in senior league here in east Texas for 4-5 years. Home runs have gone up if anything, and I haven't heard any complaints from the infielders about hops being any worse than they were when we used the 52/300. We seniors are usually resistant to change. lol |
| Feb. 12, 2018 ETDave | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Today's "super" bats I know that no one wants to hear this, but the seniors need to go to the 52/300 ball. Not as affected by temperature changes. They don't cause as much damage when a person is hit by them as the 44/375 and they fly just fine. We've used them in senior league here for several years and no complaints. |
| Aug. 8, 2017 ETDave | Topic: Bats Discussion: shaved bats I know that no one wants to hear this, but going to the 52/300 ball would solve a lot of the problem. That ball cancels most of the advantage to shaving bats. We've been using them in our senior league for several years. The good hitters still hit them out regularly and they do much less damage to the body if you're hit with one. |
| July 13, 2017 ETDave | Topic: Bats Discussion: Quick Bat Question Did a little more looking and found this. 3.4(3) • APPROVED BATS All bats marked "1.21 BPF" (Bat Performance Factor) or less, SSUSA approved bats, or bats having an ASA 2000 or 2004 stamp are approved for use. Any bat displaying the label "Exceeds 1.21 BPF" is not approved. |
| July 11, 2017 ETDave | Topic: Bats Discussion: Quick Bat Question The key thing you said is banned by ASA. It is not as hot as a senior bat...it's just that I've used it since I bought it in 2005 and feel very comfortable with it. I have senior bats that are definitely hotter. |
