The Dudley ZN Classic M gets my vote as best USSSA M ball out, so I would try the other Dudley's you have listed.

Luckily I ran across the leather lightnings... Plan on using them tonight in our goof off e league...

Hey Nick or Wes, are either of you guys playing in the league tournament at HP on the 7th?
Sounds good about the softballs... I will look in the next couple days to check some prices...

Oh and about the tournament.. We wanted to, but since its an ASA tourny, and my entire team has one asa bat... probably not! To bad Tim didn't do a league utrip tourny at Randol Mill...

Alright hit the DeMarini Lightning last night... It is better then the Orbit and/or Worth Gold dot, yet sadly not by much. With that being said, its not even fair to compare the Lightning to the Dudley TA... I am going to consider the Lightning the same as the Orbit and Gold dot... a last resort! I am really hoping that the Toxic and Heat are much better, or I am going to be very frustrated with this new rule... And I also believe that if all these balls suck this bad the shaved bat problem at Randol Mill is only going to worsen!

All these M balls are VERY temperature sensitive. As it gets colder down there you'll notice they get much harder. Around here in the fall all the M balls feel like golf balls.

As of right now I'm gonna be there. Then again the no rehersal dinner plan may go out the window.....pretty much the worst wedding preparation I've ever seen from a non-elope. We are gonna be short that week I think though I think, depends on if any of our subs come out.

That's the situation we ran into last week. We had something like 5 or 6 of our starters who couldn't make it and then my buddy had to scramble for subs and one didn't show. Obviously you guys had your way with us. Hopefully next week will be a bit better...especially if we win.

Hey Nick, they started their crap talking again last night. Some lady was on their bench last night and kept talking to them telling them to watch the orange bat, it's shaved. We were hammering the ball and their pitcher got spun a few times. He kept throwing pitches low and outside and our guys aren't the best at going oppo so they ended up right back at him. Tim told their catcher to tell their pitcher to keep the ball inside and make us hit it elsewhere.

I guess they were just pissed that they were hitting the Orbit ball and it didn't go anywhere. They had a couple of guys drive the ball well to the fence, but even when I was joking with them when they were on 1st, they had a coach and runner over there that kept talking crap saying if they had shaved bats they could do what we were doing. Funny thing was we didn't hit anything out until the last pitch when one of our guys launched one. We jokingly asked Tim to send out a mass email telling everyone in the league that bat isn't shaved...he's seen it and looked at it.

Fun night...we issued a pretty good ass kicking.

Whatever we are using in Garland was flying pretty good for me tonight

I'm guessing next time the pitcher will take his first basemans advice and walk me.

You know I laugh at this... Because its almost my same bitch! Every pitcher pitches me and one of my best hitters (Gusters) outside... We are both pull hitters that hit an outside pitch right back up the middle... And we always get crap when we crack an outside pitch up the middle... Its simple all a pitcher has to do, not to get hit is to stop pitching the F-ING ball outside! If you ask me the HALO rule is stupid... If you cannot catch, get out of the way, or afford to protect yourself... DONT PITCH! If you utrip really wanted to protect pitchers they would drop this gay rule and instead make pitchers wear protective masks..!

Oh and Nick and Slugger - I haven't had a chance to look up prices on any softballs yet... been slammed at work lately... I'll pm you when I do...

I'd love to do that, but why give them an advantage of a two year old stick? They should just buy some good balls and hit some BP. Anyway, those clowns were swinging a Freak and a JH Mayhem so it's not like they don't have a clue.

This is true. Like I said, take some BP and work on it. Most of our guys do.
