Aug. 16, 2012 batter4u | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: obscure rules? This rule has exiled me from playing any SSUSA tourneys for over a year . When I moved to CA. in 09 I consided myself a AAA offensive player and a trailer park defensive player. I was picked up by a AAA team prior to Reno, however this team was reclassified by SSUSA to major plus when we showed up. In 2010 while in CA. I again played for a major+ team After the 2010 season moved to AZ. AZ has 1 major team and no major + teams in my age (65) I have had several AAA teams ask me to play with them and have called the SSUSA explaining my situation, but been told I have to wait out the 2 years. It was black and white, no exceptions, At age 65, I hated missing a whole year of tourneys for this rule,,,, ... |
July 31, 2012 batter4u | Topic: Bats Discussion: White Centenarian Short barrel I got one with the big knob several months ago,,, no paint problems except for some webbing on the barrel, it hits with the best of the senior bats and have more hits on it than I had with my last 3 mikens,,,don t notice the shorter barrel after the first couple of swings and the ball comes off it hard,,, it will stay my gamer.. |
May 10, 2012 batter4u | Topic: Bats Discussion: White Combats Got my white centenarian on tues and took batting practice with it yesterday. ball really jumps of this bat and I agree that it will hit with the best of the senior bats. Off a tee was clearing the fence,300 ft, with the wrapper still on it. Hope it last as long as my blue combat, have over 1500 swings and still hits the ball good. |

April 10, 2012 batter4u | Topic: Bats Discussion: Combat SEN-GR2-E Bat I would agree that the Ultra II is the best bat for distance but the blue Macenko is close behind. my current blue Macenko has lasted since I bought it last sping. In comparision my last red Ultra II was cracked in less than 50 swings. I m more that willing to give up a little distance for durability, a 305ft hit or 320ft hit is still over a 300 fence. |

March 18, 2012 batter4u | Topic: Bats Discussion: Composite Bats I got my frist grey ultra about a week before Reno in, I think 02. I hit off a tee with it and was surprised at how it hit. The first time to bat at the tourney, everyone on the team was kidding me about my new bat, then the first time up, I hit one halfway up the cliff to the parking lot and then everyone wanted to use it. I heard that Mike Kelly of Kelly sports had brough 100 new mikens to the tourney and that they were gone the first day,,,, my team helped as they bought 10 of them |
March 3, 2012 batter4u | Topic: Bats Discussion: Yellow MM Combat Hombre,,, a couple of us down here in AZ would also like to check these white 10" centenarians out. If they are anything like the red combat's with the 10" barrels, they will match up with any senior bat. |
Jan. 27, 2012 batter4u | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: rosters having moved from California and playing on a major+ team there to Arizona, is akin to being blacklisted from ssusa as there are a very limited,(1), major team in AZ my age, fact is you don t always have to have major plus abilities to be on a major plus roster and be labeled with the major+ label and suffer the consequense of having to sit our seasons if there are no major + teams in your area |

Sept. 12, 2010 batter4u | Topic: Bats Discussion: NEW WHITE VETERAN BAT I have been using a white veteran for about 2 months now in batting practice and league play. It did not have the distance of the U-II, and sounded completly different than the combat or U-II. I now probaby have 600 swings on it and although it is still a little short of the U-II it gets 300+ for me on occasion and has no cracks or marks. If I had put that many swings on a the Ultra,Im pretty sure it would have been cracked by now as I've already gone though 2 this year. I have ordered the GBA and will be using it in Georgia this week. |
