« on: Today at 02:05:36 PM »then after state baseball we are going to kauai again. 5 nights at an airbnb in Hanalei and then 6 nights in connecting rooms at the Grand Hyatt. Gonna be so chill guys, after the absolute monster stress and nonstop go of baseball. I mean, relative chill when you have an 8 and 11 year old. but you know, still sort of chill.
Have been thinking about a family Hawaii trip. How many points will I need for connecting rooms at the Grand Hyatt? Any Marriott properties on the north side worth a crap that I can blow some points on?
shitloads, nope

The Irish have some similarities to us in that they drink excessively and fight constantly. But also some differences in that they fornicate with their own relatives. 2 similarities and 1 difference!

There are absolutely rec level teams for baseball, basketball, etc. The problem is that the kids that are GOOD don't want to play on those teams. all these "back in my day kids played outside!" glorification of the olden days posts don't really recognize how great kids actually have it today if they want to excel at sports. I did all that bullshit too, because there wasn't a better option. It kept the really good kids lumped in with everyone else. today those kids have options to play higher level against better competition and really it's not that unreasonably expensive for what you get out of it. it's a ton of practice, games, team building, parties, screwing around between games, etc. I can assure you my kids will grow to be old asses like us glorifying their childhood experiences too.

Yeah, if you play travel ball and a kid shows up with a USA bat your first priority is explaining to his parents that he’s going to need a USSSA bat.

« on: April 08, 2024, 04:02:56 PM »No, the hottest bats are composite and sound like a snapping branch when you hit with them. The alloy bats have generally less pop and still give that ping. Composite bats don’t have a long life and can’t be hit in cold weather because they will break. Also you don’t want to use them in the cage because you’re shortening that lifespan. Most kids will have an alloy metal bat and composite bat in their bat pack. Like there are Marucci bats in the same line (ie CatX) that are alloy, composite handle/alloy barrel, and two piece composite. Lil sd carries the second and third ones.so this touches on an issue that i’ve been wondering about ever since I first picked up one of these bats. it’s ridiculous how lightweight and “hot” they are. i immediately wondered to myself how they were legal and accepted. i’m not suggesting that they should be using wooden bats, although college probably should be.
seems like the technology and materials advancement has outpaced the game.
I may be talking out my ass here, but I think they actually have less pop than they used to. I think the old college bats that you heard the "ping" were hotter so they added the new version with required specs. I may have made that whole thing up though.

« on: April 08, 2024, 02:19:28 PM »I have the hype -10. I think its last years version. Am I screwed too? If so, I now understand why I got such a good deal.
not yet, just the -5 so far. reviews all say the -5 is the hottest so probably will be good.

PG banned the Hype Fire -5, USSSA will most likely follow suit. Imagine spending $400 on a bat and you can't even use it.
