| Oct. 23, 2003 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | Anyone have a DUD Miken U2? I bought a used U2 from Kelley's two months ago and have used in two or three games. I'm having a tough time hitting the sweetspot. I am thinking the ss is very small maybe because the bat hasen't been broken in. The U2 that I had this spring and summer hit great so I'm wondering if I could have one with thicker than normal walls. My old U2 was a 29oz and this one is a 30oz. I was used to using a 30oz Velocite and hit it well so I don't think it is because of the extra oz. At bp two days ago I couldn't come close to hitting the ball to the 300' fence so my bp partner offered to let me use his 29. I hit the next pitch went about 350'. Yesterday I hit about 100 balls off my tee, thinking this might loosen the bat up. I was consistantly hitting the fence on one hop and hit one out. Has anyone esle found their U2 hits like a log? |

| Oct. 31, 2003 TexasTransplant Men's 70 516 posts | Bruce, Does hitting off the tee help you in the off season? If so, do you have specific things you work on? With the season being over around here, I need something besides the gym to keep the juices flowing through the off-season. |
| Oct. 31, 2003 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | TexasTrans, I try to concentrate on hitting the sweet spot and hitting the ball out in front of the plate. Other guys do situational drills, hitting opposite field and place hitting, I don't. It also toughens my hands, enabling me to hit more when taking bp. I also think it is a good way to compare different bats. You may want to check out MohrSoftball.com. Jim Ramsey has quite a few drills associated with hitting off a tee. |
