| April 6, 2012 big cat7 | Topic: Bats Discussion: overlapping grip I started using the overlapping grip two years ago and had great results but last year after hitting i noticed the area between my thumb and index finger on my top hand got very sore and even a little swollen. Has anyone else had this happen and if so what did you do other than quit using that grip |

| March 26, 2012 big cat7 | Topic: Bats Discussion: ultras Im 6ft3 and about 260 and i swing pretty hard.I still hit it a good ways so i was wondering how long a maxload may last me.I had a 30 oz that lasted at least 150 swings or more before breaking and i just came across a 28oz that i havent used yet.I had heard that the heavier bats may have lasted longer than the 28s.Has anyone else came across that? |
| March 25, 2012 big cat7 | Topic: Bats Discussion: ultras I would like to get some feedback on just how fast some ultra maxload bats have broken, how many swings did it take? |
| March 5, 2012 big cat7 | Topic: Bats Discussion: bats Im interested in a 28 melee endloaded bat but i would like a new model rather than the 2011 one. |
| March 5, 2012 big cat7 | Topic: Bats Discussion: bats I would like to know if the miken ultras or the reebok melees that you see on anaconda sports,kellys or direct sports are 2012 models or 2011 models? If they are 2011 models then are 2012 models available and if so where? |
| Nov. 5, 2011 big cat7 | Topic: Bats Discussion: reebok I got a reebok senior bat when they first came out and the first couple of times that i used it i felt the same thing. I actually felt like the bat was breaking off at the handle when i hit the ball.I put the bat in the bag and used my miken till it broke and decided rather than buy a new one i would try to use the reebok again.I used another bat and a rubber mallet and beat on the bat till the paint started to spider web.Once this happened and i used it the bat was awesome.Just as much distance as the ultra and it hasnt broken yet. |
| Oct. 21, 2011 big cat7 | Topic: Bats Discussion: reebok vis a vis ultra....a year later I got a reebok senior bat in april and didnt use it very often until my ultra maxload cracked after fifty or so swings and at first hated it.the reebok just didnt seem to have any pop and felt really funny when i hit the ball.So i took the cracked ultra and each day used it to hit the reebok, i kept rotating the reebok in my hand while hitting it with the ultra finally after about 250 hits the paint started to crack a little and the next league game i used it.Well i must say since then i put it right up there with the ultras in distance and may be even more durable. |
| Sept. 15, 2011 big cat7 | Topic: Bats Discussion: worth bats Yes al33, i know clatta and actually have played with him in a few tournaments.Im originally from virginia and everyone who ever played any serious ball there knows who clatta is.I play senior ball now and a guy on an opposing team used one of these worth bats the other night and the ball really hopped off it so i was just wondering if other people had used it with good results and if it was balanced or endloaded? |
| Sept. 15, 2011 big cat7 | Topic: Bats Discussion: worth bats Has anyone used the worth senior bat that has the three big orange x's on it?I would like some feedback on it |
| July 8, 2011 big cat7 | Topic: Bats Discussion: New Reebok Bats Ed i have a comment thread on here about a reebok melee that i have and ive had some problems with it. You wrote back and said that i should send it to reebok international for them to test it could you please give me the address and what i should do when sending it back thank you |
| July 5, 2011 big cat7 | Topic: Bats Discussion: reebok melee Thanks ed, my league plays on weds. nites so im going to give the melee one more chance before i say that there is a defect in it.But i would appreciate the address just in case. |
| June 30, 2011 big cat7 | Topic: Bats Discussion: reebok melee I have a 29 ounce end load reebok melee and have only used it a couple of times,i cant really complain about it because i havent used it enough but i have a few questions.First when i really hit it on the screws it sounds like glass breaking now ive heard thats a good thing is it or isnt it? And secondly i use the overlapping grip and it has only happened with this bat and now it has happened twice but when i hit it solid for some reason the area between my right thumb and index finger gets pinched. Ive taken the grip off and checked to see if maybe the handle was broken but its not. Has this happened to anyone else? |
| June 28, 2011 big cat7 | Topic: Bats Discussion: another one bites the dust Well just had another MIKEN MAXLOAD ULTRA break on me.This one lasted all of 35 swings and just in games no batting practice.I love playing the game but its getting expensive having to buy two or three bats a year.Has anyone ever had any luck returning an ultra? |
| June 21, 2011 big cat7 | Topic: Bats Discussion: trade I have a 29 ounce end loaded reebok melee and am looking to trade it for a 28 0unce miken maxload.The melee has about ten swings on it and its a little to heavy for me. |
| June 15, 2011 big cat7 | Topic: Bats Discussion: hitting Thanks i understand that you have to focus more.Actually what i wanted to say was that im right handed and stand in the front of the box and pretty close to the plate so these guys were throwing right at me and the ball was breaking to the plate. i was having a hard time deciding whether to swing or not and i wanted some input on what guys did to help them hit these curves |
| June 15, 2011 big cat7 | Topic: Bats Discussion: hitting thanks for the imput vinny and i did hit it i believe i was 17 -20 with 12 homers so i wasnt asking because i cant hit it i just had to move around in the box and couldnt stand where i normally do and my question was to find out what others did to hit it |
| June 15, 2011 big cat7 | Topic: Bats Discussion: hitting I played in a tournament this past weekend and it was the first time that ive played usssa rules in twenty years , i noticed alot of pitchers were throwing curve balls and i was having my problems with them.what are some of the things that hitters do to help hit the curve in softball. im right handed |
| May 26, 2011 big cat7 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Aluminum I think senior leagues should go to utrip rules all the way around.If you use utrip bats and decent balls people that can hit them will still be able to hit them.Also with the lower arc hitters can control where the ball is going better when they swing rather than fighting off some twenty foot high pitch and smashing one back up the middle.I think the utrip bats and maybe a 44/375 ball would be great. |
