Discussion: new combat centenarian......short

I purchased a white centenarian and after about 5 swings paint started to come off. after about 25 more swings big chunks of paint came off. At know time was the performance of the bat effected. It hit great and felt great from the get go. My only concerns about the paint chipping off was the ability to use the bat in tournament play.I contacted Rob Kauffman and Combat and they asked me to send them pictures of my bat. About 4 days ago i received my new bat. I've taken about 50 swings with it and there is no paint issues. Mr.Kauffman and Combat were very understanding and super to work with.
THANK YOU COMBAT

Discussion: Baden renegade senior bat, Bass Crippler bat

Anybody try One of these bats yet? I use the Bass Pinky in my NSA league and I'm very happy with it. I was wondering if the Crippler is anything like it? Thanks for your input in advance.

Discussion: FORT MYERS WINTER NATIONAL

I just played in my first senior tourney. Only thing I can say is "WOW". Our team (Northern Ohio Printing from Ohio) ended up 3-3. I met some great people and played some ball with some super guys. I'm looking forward to our upcoming tournaments. I'd like to thank our sponsors Gary and Kevin and also our coach bubsey and also to mr. Hoffman for helping teach the senior game to us young 49 year olds. Haha ! Everyone was class. I'd like to give a shout out to the fellas from Kentucky, new York, Maryland and Florida. See ya soon.

Discussion: NEW WHITE VETERAN BAT

Just got back from hitting with my 50 & over tourney team. I was swinging my GBA 26oz veteran bat. It was about 50 degrees out. The bat had about 75 swings on it prior to today. This bat is starting to open up really good now. The ball was going 325 plus with nice easy swings. Maybe this maybe is a cold weather senior bat? Haha!

Discussion: Miken Durability

Had a brand new 29oz Miken Ultra ll. Pulled it out last Saturday to hit, the weather was about 70 degrees. The bat broke on the 20th hit. The first bucket of balls. The bat had no marks on it except for the side that was smashed. I called Miken and explained to them what happened. They gave me a RA number and said they would look at it, but couldn't promise anything. Well I heard from Miken and they are going to replace my bat for me. THANK YOU MIKEN !

Discussion: UltraII vs. Worth Toxic XXX vs Combat MM

Just got the hook up on a senior toxic with about 50 swings on it. I took 5 swings with 44/.375 balls. I hit 4 balls about 350 plus. Is this bat that good? Hit with the Miken ultra ll, Ultra ll maxload and the Ultra the day before and they had good pop, but nothing like the Toxic. There is no cracks on Toxic but some paint chip. Will this be a issue in tournament play? What are my options with this bat?
Thanks

I just took some swings with my GBA senior bat and it felt pretty good. Hit a couple out about 330ish. You can tell it needs some more hits on it.

Discussion: What bats are legal in senior ball?

I got the lady virus in a trade. I had a extra MV1. Just got back from hitting and I used a ultra ll, ultra, ultra ll maxload and the Lady virus. They all performed well, but if you can get a hold of LV and it doesn't bother you it's 33" you should invest in one. They maybe more durable than the ultras and possibly more pop.
Good luck

I have a combat lady virus that is 1.20 certified. Would it be legal to use in ssusa? It's also 33/26.
Thanks
