| May 7, 2022 NYGNYY 198 posts | Ball Being Used in Reno? Any idea which one? We have extra ISA Rocks 44/400 from Vegas and St. George. Thanks |
| May 7, 2022 DaveDowell Men's 70 4097 posts | Unless the little yellow VW bug from the BSN circus rolls in and pulls a rabbit out of the trunk with 36± cases of our microcell technology official ball, it's likely going to be from the Worth product line ... It won't be the same ball we used in the Southwest Championships because there weren't enough available to cover those two 200+ team events ... |
| May 9, 2022 marcster13 102 posts | Here is the Worth ball used in a SSUSA turny 5 weeks ago that I played in. Not saying this is the default Worth ball for all, just sharing info. https://www.directsports.com/products/worth-super-gold-dot-composite-usssa-pro-m-slowpitch-softball-dozen-um12cy?variant=39270863470688&dfw_tracker=29672-39270863470688&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIl9af1efS9wIVdPHjBx17iwEOEAQYASABEgImmPD_BwE |
| May 9, 2022 NYGNYY 198 posts | Thanks for both replies. I just read the 1 review on the ball from last month. It is what it is at this point. |
| May 9, 2022 Mavs19 Men's 55 7 posts | The Worth Super Gold Dot Pro M is a very good ball. It'll go! |
| May 9, 2022 DirkPitt 30 posts | The Worth ball used at the Brickyard was a piece of crap. Mamy guys switched to ASA bats as the balls used were intended for ASA bats. Using a senior bat was like hitting a pillow. There were HRs but the numbers were way down. |
| May 9, 2022 DirkPitt 30 posts | Not sure why SSUSA doesn't consider the Tattoo. FHC seems able to get 36 dozen or more every month without any problems. |
| May 9, 2022 DaveDowell Men's 70 4097 posts | We're using the Tattoo ball in Raleigh at the Atlantic Coast Championships beginning tomorrow (Tuesday) ... |
| May 10, 2022 DirkPitt 30 posts | That's great news Dave. The Tattoo is much more durable IMO. |
| May 10, 2022 big cat7 Men's 50 138 posts | Why not let teams furnish their own balls like the old days just as long as its 44/375 hit whatever you want |
| May 10, 2022 Smiles123 10 posts | Yes, why not allow teams to bring their balls so as long as they are 44/375. I am sneaking in the Trump Stote Rocks with the red stitching. Lol! |
| May 10, 2022 NYGNYY 198 posts | Just read the most recent SSUSA newsletter and the article on Balls,Balls Balls. Understanding the read SSUSA doesn’t have much control starting with off shore manufacturing and supply chain issues so maybe it isn’t a bad idea for teams to bring their own balls for a few tournaments. It helps with existing supply and time factors. We all have 44/375 balls in our bags/garage. Let the umpires review and mark the balls before or during the games. |
| May 11, 2022 DieselDan Men's 75 568 posts | But NYGNY, possibly all 44/375 softballs are not equal in performance. |
| May 11, 2022 DaveDowell Men's 70 4097 posts | There's a very extensive and almost identical discussion thread from here that happened from 03/15-22/2022 regarding the Spring World's in Mesquite and St. George ... This one is nothing more than "deja vu all over again" on why we will not run the tournaments on a B.Y.O.B. basis ... A level playing field is maintained when everyone hits the same ball at a specific event ... Simple concept ... Not going to change ... Good luck! |
