| Posted | Discussion |
| March 3 SCRAPPY6 55 posts | I WANTED TO CLARIFY THE INFORMATION WHICH RELATES TO SOFTBALLS AND TEMPERATURE EFFECT ON THE COMPRESSION. IT WAS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED THAT FOR EVERY ONE DEGREE TEMPERATURE CHANGE THERE IS A 5% CHANGE IN COMPRESSION. THIS IS NOT QUITE ACCURATE. FOR EVERY ONE DEGREE CHANGE THERE IS A 5 LB. COMPRESSION CHANGE. BALLS ARE TESTED AT 72 DEGREES. AT 92 DEGREES A 400 COMPRESSION BALL CHANGES TO APPROXIMATELY 300 COMPRESSION. INVERSELY THE SAME HAPPENS IF THE TEMPERATURE IS 52 DEGREES THE COMPRESSION GOES TO APPROXIMATELY 500. I'M A MANUFACTURERS REP FOR WORTH SPORTS AND WE HAVE DONE MANY TESTS ON OUR PRODUCTS TO INSURE CONSISTENCY AND BALL QUALITY. I ALSO PLAY SENIOR BALL AND ENJOY A HIGH PERFORMANCE BAT AND A BALL THAT IS CONSISTENT. WE WILL BE INTRODUCING SOME NEW AND EXCITING PRODUCTS SHORTLY. |
