June 10, 2007 calpops 32 posts | Big League Dreams allow yellow bat I played at Big League Dream in Chino Hills the other night and used the Rip It yellow senior bat. They said it is now legal there and the other BLD parks. My question is where else can I use this bat. It really is the best bat I have ever had and would like to know it I can use it in tournaments for senior softball. |

June 10, 2007 einstein Men's 50 3112 posts | I hit the Yellow Rip-it today to really see what it has and I put 100 swings on it Neither my Combat which I love nor my Ultra 2 which is still lethal can out hit that Yellow bat. It is simply a monster and the best bat since the grey Ultra, getting better, all the time. It's shell is soft and the sweetspot is large. Feels and swings like the Combat which I love and hits like the Ultra 2, only better. I wasn't sure just how good a bat it was, till today. Rip-it has made a monster bat, the best bat I've swung in a long time. I just got through talking with the Stoneman about the larger issues involved with hot bats. When they started making/using/buying inferior balls, the fun and love of hitting one hard/far got challenged. Having a good bat was a hedge for not being screwed by showing up and having to play with bad balls. Now, I just came from an "E" tournament where both and balls and the bats have been restricted so much so that there's little joy in hitting the ball. Having hot bats like Rip-it's Yellow beast helps remind me why hitting and playing softball can be so much fun. |
