| April 18, 2011 Capt Kirk 541 posts | Doctored Softball We played in a fund-raising tournament and you furnished your own ball, 44/375. I need the recipe how to doctored a ball, the opposing team was using a ball in which the cover was skin tight,(maybe it was dippped/dried/microwaved), if that's what you have to do. It was like a rock, from innings 1-7, they hit rockets and the ball did not change in composition, after seven (7) innings, it was still a rock. |
| April 19, 2011 pitcher55 Men's 55 130 posts | kirk,that is why teams should not bring their own balls.we used to do that in the 80's.most of the teams did. sierradog1@live.com |
| April 19, 2011 #6 Men's 60 1173 posts | Capt Kirk.......we told those guys they shouldn't use those balls, LOL............honestly......those were legal .44/.375 stamped balls in the wrapper I just bought.THEY ARE THE BEST .44/.375 I believe on the market, send me an email and I will tell you where you can get them. THEY ARE REALY STAMPED 44/375 |
| April 19, 2011 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Comparative test. Drop a few from same height on cement or other firm hard surface and see which bounces the highest. Relatively speaking they should be close if same core and comp. If not I'd wonder. |
| April 19, 2011 #6 Men's 60 1173 posts | taits, That has never worked . |
| April 19, 2011 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Neither does looking at the stamps and taking it as what they are. Wonder what shape the bats were in if the balls were modified. |
| April 19, 2011 jimjoes-gman Men's 55 80 posts | Sounds like they were using a "Baden" ball. It is like a base ball compared to a "Trump" ball. I have never broke a bat before. Broke a new Ultra & a Launch in B/P last yr., using Baden balls. Hardest low compression ball on the market.SPA uses them. |
| April 20, 2011 #19 Men's 70 302 posts | Capt Kirk... Quite the accusation ... I assume you lost the game. |
| April 20, 2011 #6 Men's 60 1173 posts | taits, We go back a ways and I resent that you would accuse us of using altered bats ! As for as the balls, I bought them from a company in CA., they are stamped .44/.375, so let it rest, you too Gary Kirk ! |
| April 20, 2011 ju25 Men's 60 236 posts | I don't think taits is accusing you of using altered bats. Hard balls destroy bats, is what he is talking about. IMO |
| April 20, 2011 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Kenny, There was no intention of that. Inferred or otherwise. I speak from personal knowledge and had no clue to ordered balls mentioned as well as having bought tons of balls from factories and could have them stamped what I asked for or without any at all. I still have some. But as having studied balls and bats for many years in the past I also know they both can be altered even with out that in mind as far as balls are concerned at least. I see no mention as to brand or tournament name. Only that you were more likely there where ever it was, and that could be anywhere in the US. |
| April 20, 2011 Capt Kirk 541 posts | #6: Send me the companies address, I want to order a case of those rocks: Ref: Capt Kirk.......we told those guys they shouldn't use those balls (what guys?)LOL............honestly......those were legal .44/.375 stamped balls in the wrapper I just bought.THEY ARE THE BEST .44/.375 I believe on the market, send me an email and I will tell you where you can get them.

| April 22, 2011 Capt Kirk 541 posts | Mad Dog I haven't fired a shot, but our team (TX Tornado's) are going to invite ourselves over to Kenny's place since we having a hard time booking a hotel room for the Georgetown Tournament. I know there will be plenty of beer and we can talk rodeoing. |
| April 22, 2011 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | well CK,i guess that is ok,but i didn't know goat roping and mutton busting was real rodeoing....DOH,LOL....... IS THAT THE JUN25 TOURNEY,WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE COMING DOWN FOR THAT.oops caps on sorry.hey look into priceline.com and bid on rooms,use the round rock/north austin area,i get usually the extended stay america for $25 with my bid,there are 2 i get mostly and they are just south of the 79 coming into round rock and both are just off the I-35.they about 13 miles from the park in georgetown. |
| April 22, 2011 Capt Kirk 541 posts | Mad Dog, we will be playing in the Central State Qualifier in Georgetown on May 20th & 21st. It is a SSUSA qualifier hosted by Keith Parker. Also we will be Dallas on June 10th & 11th for the Texas State Championship. Hope to see you there. On the rodeo circuit, I believe mutton busting is legit, we would have to call in our expert to confirm. |
| April 22, 2011 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | we are staying in town(plano,spa) on the 20th of may,we also will be in dallas for the texas state champs. we are gonna try the rocking reno tourney this year,3-5 jun also. i forgot that he is a shorty so he might be legit for mutton busting......LOL.... |
| April 23, 2011 J R 251 posts | #6 Kenny please send me the softball info to jack39@sbcglobal.net thanks. I will buy you an adult beverage in Baytown |
| April 23, 2011 kbl Men's 60 544 posts | mad dog..how do you get these hotel rooms so cheap? i noticed you did that in kissimmee, florida, also. thanks, ken |
| April 23, 2011 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | ken go to www.priceline.com and look at their prices,then bid on them(i start at about half of their original price ex-$40-50,i bid $20-25,etc).you can bid on all,1-5 stars,i usually do 1-star as i'm only looking for place to sleep and shower.most of the time i can get an extended stay america.the only prol is that once you bid and they accept,it is a done deal,no refunds. |
