Is my 2005 original Easton Extended ok for SSUSA play? Rules say all Easton bats stamped 1.21 or lower. It only has ASA stamp used at that time.

Thanks.

Discussion: DeMarini Flipper USA, Worth Mayhem

I wouldn't recommend using the Flipper USA for senior ball. They are made specifically for the 52/300. They won't last long hitting 44/375 from what I'm told. I have one.

Wish I was old enough to help you out. Only 57. I play league ball with mad dog.

Discussion: On Base Percentage (OBP)

This is my first year playing senior tournaments, so my perspective may be different than some others.

I have played senior league ball for five years. Our senior league was an all ASA ball and bat league until this year. This year the seniors can use the senior bats, but we hit the 52/300 ball. Both setups have been fine with everyone involved. No one complained about the ASA bats and 44/375 balls, and no one has complained about the senior bats and 52/300 balls.

In the two senior tournaments I've played in I can tell the ball comes off the bat a little faster...but not that much. I will concede it probably does inflate OBP over the ASA ball and bat combo.

However, if you think most guys under fifty are playing with bats that are less hot you need to rethink that. Shaved bats are so prevalent in league and tourneys now that most of the young guys are hitting hotter bats than we are. Combine that with the fact that they are younger and you can see some balls that are really smoked.

Any ball and bat combo is ok with me...I just like to play.

I play in one of the leagues with mad dog. The balls are fine to me. You don't get as much feedback from the bat when you hit them but they will fly.

Yes it will take a while to break in. After you start to see spiderweb cracks in the paint it will get hot.

Discussion: nature of bat cheating...

Great post, Webbie.

The senior league I play in uses ASA bats and balls. My thoughts are if you need anything hotter than that to feel good about yourself I feel sorry for you.
