| Feb. 9, 2016 tattooball 774 posts | B/P and senior bats I have received many calls about B/P and senior bats lately. With the bats becoming more durable people are not worried about hitting them in B/P like they used to. Most of the time it is not the bat. MOST of the time it is the balls. Any ball that has a soft outer layer should never be hit in B/P. These are multi layer balls and even though you feel like a hero hitting them they are damaging your bat. Most bats break in B/P even if they do not show signs of that. They will show signs of the damage later. Multi layer balls are a much higher compression than advertised and have a severity index up to 3600. The SI is simple, the higher the number the higher the impact force. .44 are also high, as much as 2400 SI. .40 are as high as the multi layer at 3600 SI. A few more things to consider is old balls pick up weight due to moisture. Wet balls from hitting on fields with wet grass. How many times do we take B/P before a tourney and the balls are soaked from the dew? Conventional balls are picking up that water and damaging the bats. The water soaks into the seams and the cover now becomes heavy. If you spend money on good B/P balls and store them properly you will save money on bats, and balls last much longer than bats so the savings is long term. A good 1 piece softball can save you money for years to come. Feel free to call with questions. 845 532 2668 |
