March 10, 2017 big cat7 Men's 50 138 posts | trump rocks Our league just decided to use trump rocks this year and i would like to know which 44/375 ball is used in tournaments. I know its a great ball but is it the ASA ball or is there a different 44/375 rock. |
March 10, 2017 curveball Men's 65 705 posts | Cat, LVSSA/SSUSA Spring Worlds and the Masters Championship uses the X-ROCK-ISA-Y ball. We used the ASA Rock in Bullhead City this past week, I thought it was a good ball that held up well. (it wasn't overly hot, 70's, so no way to tell if it would be heat affected) |
March 11, 2017 SSUSA Staff 3466 posts | curveball ... The Trump Rocks are used only in Las Vegas events jointly promoted by LVSSA/SSUSA ... Those would be the Southwest Championships and World Masters Championships, but not the upcoming Spring World's in Mesquite/St. George ... Otherwise, your info is accurate ... Thanks! |

March 11, 2017 curveball Men's 65 705 posts | Slip if the tongue Staff, or slip of the typing fingers! I know that, I work at both of them. Had the upcoming Springs on my mind I guess. Thanks for correcting..... |

March 15, 2017 norgenorth 1 posts | norgenorth: Disagree the Trump Ball used in Vegas is not a pitcher ball. Too light and the old 44/375 can be thrown with much more accuracy and better curves and knuckle balls. |

March 16, 2017 curveball Men's 65 705 posts | norgenorth, disagree with you. I just put my new in the wrapper Rocks and Stotes on the postal scale, all the Stotes were lighter than all the Rocks. I had 12 Rocks at 6.4-6.55oz. 8 Stotes were 6.25-6.35oz. As a pitcher, I find no difference in accuracy, curve and screwball are the same, and I don't throw a knuckleball so can't comment. I would guess the lighter ball would be better for the knuckle, assuming the seams are the same height. |

March 19, 2017 big cat7 Men's 50 138 posts | okay we already have the ASA ones so is there a big difference between the two |
