| Aug. 27, 2023 garyheifner | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Force out? If your an infielder and dive for a grounder. Ball is in your glove but U can't reach the base for the force out with your glove or foot in time. But, U can reach it with your bare/throwing hand. Is that a force out? |
| Aug. 7, 2023 garyheifner | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: BAT HEAD SPEED P.S. My test results were with a Worth AT 18 end load 26 oz. Next time, I am going to use my Miken Ultra 27 oz balanced. Will see if there is any difference. |
| Aug. 7, 2023 garyheifner | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: BAT HEAD SPEED My friend came to BP with a device that attached to the knob of my bat and he got read outs on his phone-some app. I thought I would be in the 60s plus, but over about 20 hits, I was between 49 and 55. Kinda like, when asked what was my average drive off the tee in golf. I guessed 225 yards or so, When I started to GPS, I was really 190-200. God, I am getting old. |
| Aug. 6, 2023 garyheifner | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: BAT HEAD SPEED What is the range (speed) that most seniors generate in the 80+ division? |
| June 23, 2023 garyheifner | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Dumb Question On a recent bat review by Texas Dave V, he said they use spinner balls for the 1st review and then 44/375s for the 2nd. What is a spinner softball?? |
| June 8, 2023 garyheifner | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: winter nationals Staff-are your current plans taking the winter nationals back to Ft.Meyers or to where it was laST YEAR???? |
| June 5, 2023 garyheifner | Topic: Bats Discussion: Worth Bat Is there a 2023 version of the Worth AT 18 that Allen Tanner introduced a while back??? |
| March 14, 2023 garyheifner | Topic: Bats Discussion: Bat reviews Texas Dave: I really enjoy watching ur bat reviews on utube and the guys hitting bombs. Anyway, any chance U could start including say a 75 AAA type player so we can see how the bat actually performs for us older middle of the road players? |
| Feb. 11, 2023 garyheifner | Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: Chicago Gray Sox The Chicago Gray Sox are moving up from 75AAA to the 80s division. Looking to ad 2 more players. We currently have our max limit of 79s. So, we are looking for true 80s. Able to play multiple positions and run for yourself would be a bonus. Team is looking at 8/9 tournaments. Most in the Midwest. Plus, Vegas. For details call Wayne at 630-881-2903 or Jerry at 815-715-4273 |
| Dec. 26, 2022 garyheifner | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Tie-Breaker in Round-Robin Play As long as tournament formats came up: The 75 AAA played "4" prelims and single elimination. I personally believe this is one of the worst formats. Sure, an easy way to get 5 games in. Most of the guys really don't care about those 2 xtra prelims. They are just trying to get the the single elimination in some form of physical health. Just do the standard 2 and then bracket play. |
| Dec. 15, 2022 garyheifner | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Roster makeup Thanks Dave-My team is hoping to move up to 80s and just want to verify the rules. |
| Dec. 14, 2022 garyheifner | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Roster makeup Is this still the rule for 2023 season? An 80s team can have up to "7" players that are 78 or 79 but only 3 can be 78. Also, can a player be 77 if he turns 78 during the current season? |
| Dec. 13, 2022 garyheifner | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Move Midwest Championship to St. Louis Did not know Rantoul could offer "8" new fields. Sounds like a great venue for a major tournament. Plus teams from around the Midwest would have easy interstate travel to the site. |
| Dec. 12, 2022 garyheifner | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Move Midwest Championship to St. Louis Joliet il has a great 6 field complex and has many tournaments. The Midwest was good in Champaign il and just up HYWY 55 Rantoul Il built a new 4 field complex. Maybe could use both at same time. |
| Oct. 27, 2022 garyheifner | Topic: Bats Discussion: BATS Our lead off batter is a singles hitter. He bought a Dudley Doom end load. On his 12th game hit, it had a HUGE crack. This was with no break in batting practice. Just 12 hits total. Has anyone else experienced a similar failure?? |
| Oct. 12, 2022 garyheifner | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 11 Players For 65 Brackets Besides the obvious, being the 11th defender allows another teammate an opportunity to play. Every once in a while, the subject of pitcher safety comes up. When U add in the 11th defender between the SS and 2nd base there will be less balls hit up the middle especially when there is a runner on 1st and less than 2 outs. |
| Aug. 27, 2022 garyheifner | Topic: Bats Discussion: Bats Thanks Dave-I have heard so many different conversations/opinions on rolling. It just peaked my interest to find out the official rule of which I had no idea. |
| Aug. 26, 2022 garyheifner | Topic: Bats Discussion: Bats I am very serious. I watched Dave's (senior softball bat reviews) August wrap up. He took off as to his feelings regarding players who shave bats. He did not mention rolling a bat. That is why my question. I keep seeing ads pop up offering services for both. Trying to figure out why anyone would do either if illegal and the penalties if caught. |
| Aug. 26, 2022 garyheifner | Topic: Bats Discussion: Bats Shaving a bat is illegal. What is the ruling on rolling a bat? Heard it just shortens break in time. True or not? |
| Aug. 23, 2022 garyheifner | Topic: Bats Discussion: Hitting Thanks-what mostly prompted my question was watching Dave on senior softball bat reviews. He really goes up high and hits the ball with a lot of pop. |
