How about you post one of your famous slopitch 500'+ homerun videos

I'd hit one 500' for her!


OK, 380' but she looks dumb, she'll believe me.

Hehe. I'd love to see that. We have some big boys that played minor league ball that can reach the parking lot which in my estimation is 380-400. Thats a fuckin blast and a half in slow pitch.

380 is a good shot...

I'd like to see myself hit one 500+ft as well... With a baseball, thank God yes, but not with a softball, yet...

I have cleared a 375 foot fence with 375 44 cor balls. Did it about 2 months ago at one of the nicest facilities in St.Louis.



Posted by: Double D

I was using a non-asa bat also. It was a freak plus, not an ultra, but a plus. Lots of guys can hit the ball 400 feet with an ultra!

That's a solid shot right there. I like 375 44's. I think they're the perfect ball with the ridiculous bat we get to swing. There are some that are total socks though... Flight restricted 375's suck. Thankfully in the bigs you guys don't see those.

I hope to get back in the swing of things next year. I'd also like to find a good team I enjoy playing with. That's pretty much why I quit. The teams I did play with I just didn't mesh with. I don't drink etc... I'm quiet and pretty reserved as well. Obviously not the best softball personality. Around here it's buddy-buddy, and I hate politics.

The freak + is insane! I never favored it because it's endloaded though. I'm a Syngery + guy. I love balanced bats. Unless it's a natural endload like a PST. I hate weights in a bat for some reason, but short barrels swing better than anything out there for me.

The Ultras were just crazy! Man that bat was straight cheating...lol The one I bought I broke in about 20 swings though. Those were still among the most swings I've ever taken though. I bought the U1 remake. Miken wouldn't even take that piece back either... I'm not going to say how far I've hit or anything, but I don't suck...



Posted by: Double D

Well I like the Syn2 now. It is very reliable and hits very hot. Probably the closest thing to the Freak 100. Ultra should be banned and not even sold. They are for nothing more than kiling people.

Awesome bats man... Great taste! The Freak 100's will probably never be topped for ASA again.



Posted by: Double D

No the Freak 100's will not ever be topped again. I am suprised that ASA hasnt banned them. They have did everything, but go back to single wall bats and string balls. Even though then I wish they would. Atleast then we could seperate the hitters from the slappers.

Are guys still painting Ultras? I got accused of that more than once myself... Man that felt good.



Posted by: Double D

They do still paint them. Also very ridiculous. I think you can purchase them on ebay. The person who made that famous ought to be thrown in jail for atleast 10 years for all the people who he has had a hand in hurting. Ultra's should be used for BP and BP ONLY!

ASA started getting out of hand with bannings stuff after approving it. I'm glad they kept the 100's. I think those things sell for over $600 now. I wish I still had my five... At least you guys get to play on bigger fields at times.

Definitely a BP bat... I almost shaved a PST once, but never did. Pretty much everyone around here who plays B ball has a juiced bat in one form or another.



Posted by: Double D

Well depends alot of times we play on 390-405 fields. Other times in the more local events we play on the 350 fields. Doesnt really matter though, you just have to know when to use your homers and when not to.

As far as freak 100's you can ask around on softballfans.com and I think you can get a freak for around 300-350 bucks.

PST's are pretty much cold weather bats and thats it. I rarely see those used. Theres a red PST from a few years ago thats super hot, but other than that I see PST's used mostly in the winter because of their durability.

That's a pretty good poke. Do you ever use a single wall? If so, what kind of distance are you getting?



Posted by: Double D

Never really use single walls anymore. I have hit over a 325 fence with one, but it was wind aided. Not sure the compression of the ball either. I think the bat was one of those single wall wicked's. It is a very good poke with a single wall however. I hit some of my buddies 525 compression balls the other day and they are a fantastic ball. Oh so hard, I dont know if I dont wanna go back to hitting 375 balls.

I wish softball would go back to string balls and single wall bats. Then we could seperate the men from the boys. Seems like anyone can hit it out with these bats and balls these days.

The league I play in is a single wall only league. With a 375 ball and a 300 or so ft fence, very few balls leave the park.

It's somewhat similar to the road powerlifting has taken. Better and more technically advanced gear has enabled people to lift more weight than before.



Posted by: Double D

You are right we have the 160lbs guys hitting 2 or 3 homers a game. Anyone can do it now. Kinda makes me wanna hang em up.



Posted by: largepkg

Yep, the good'ole days when I used to hit 325' with my Demarini Ultimate Weapon are over.

It is all relative though. I play on some fields now that are 325'+. It's still a hell of poke to get it there.



Posted by: Double D

DEMO's are hardly ever used at all unless its in a noncomposite league. But I liked the F2, however it broke really quickly. And after sending 3 back, they sent me one that said no return. I will never buy a bat off of them again.
