Sept. 30, 2017 crusher | Topic: Bats Discussion: NEW ! Worth Wicked Senior bat Lefty, thanks for the report. Looking at online videos looked like this bat out of wrapping would just launch balls out of the park without any effort. Your report sounds very real (for a legal bat). For me a well broken in Big Cat is the most awesome bat. Please DO report what you think after comparing the Wiked and Big Cat. James |
Aug. 13, 2017 crusher | Topic: Bats Discussion: shaved bats HJ, my opinion, you do not need a new bat. My day league went to that ball and started letting us hit Senior bats. I can hit fence or short hop fence. You do need to make sure you cut the ball to get max distance. A low Smoked line drive hit center bat center ball (260-275 feet) will go crazy at about 240 feet.

July 23, 2017 crusher | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: weight training big cat7, one other thing discovered, you really need to relax your jaw and then on down to your shoulders. By lifting heavy you can tighten muscles up destroying flexibility and smooth swing. You mentioned Tulsa, l played in senior league there about 15 years. James |

July 16, 2017 crusher | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: weight training I always kept my training heavy, changing routine by including exercise that stretches muscles to maintain flexibility. You can't have complete flexibility but can have say 85%. I have crashed by stepping on a wet base in 8am game and because of muscle volume l pop up and continue on to 2nd base. May be half knocked out but not hurt physically. Also if you are a power hitter you can maintain hr power into your 70's. |
July 3, 2017 crusher | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: How best to position11 defensive players? When old enough to play 11 speed slows down, Hitting may still be at a high level. 20+ runs happen a lot. OLD men can only run to the fences so many times in 95+ temp. We still like to play though, having 11 defenders sure helps. C |
June 26, 2017 crusher | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: How best to position11 defensive players? Just played a tour in Waxahachie Tx. We only had 10 players. The other team scored probably 6 or 7 runs by hitting up middle. Without the 11 player as a 5th infielder up the middle this resulted in losing by 1 run. |
June 6, 2017 crusher | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: what kind of stretching excise do you do before game time? I like to do 5 push-ups, then 10, then 10 again. This brings some heat to muscle and tissue. Results, l can swing bat better, much better. After push-ups do some stretching, throwing, etc. I do not do pull-ups because I can't get my feet to clear the ground. lol truth C |

Jan. 24, 2017 crusher | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Advice Playing SS you have some time, However, you may get put at 3rd base and, WITH the Senior bats you may have about 1 second for a ball to go from bat to even with 3rd base. 70+ men can hit a line shot over the fence with the Senior Bats. So, if that shot gets pulled at the 3rd baseman, well????? Been there and had it happen to me. C |
Jan. 13, 2017 crusher | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Cataract Surgery I wear bifocals (lined). I bought a pair of single focus sunglasses and found it did not work out good. When very use to bifocals it is hard to adjust (for me) to a single focus. I tried Progressive a long time ago and found as a softball gets closer to you, especially batting the Progressive lenses tend to make the softball seem to curve because of the progressive magnification. |
