Happy Holidays Ya'll! Feel free to post here things that don't really need a separate posting.

What are you focusing on to be a better player in the offseason?

My wife plays rec softpitch softball with her co-worker once a week and she drags me along with her.

Never played catch nor baseball growing up so Can anyone please suggest what kind of gloves i should get for her, size wise when she mainly plays first base?

I like the design of the ice cream gloves but knows nothing about the right size - webbing etc. Is any on sale right now? Thought about getting a matching pair (she asked me to practice pitching)

TLDR: Need Recommendation on matching pair of gloves for 1st base and Pitching

TIA!

About to submit warranty claim. Have until April. Wait or send it?

If anyone needs a guy (yeah right) in socal either league night or tournaments I'm available. I know theres a small chance but I'm struggling to find teams lol. I'm based in LB and am on break from school atm. When school comes back, I won't be free Tuesday or Thursday night but any other night/weekend I'm there! I'm consistent and dependable. I do best at 1st and catcher as I'm a bigger guy, but I'm willing and knowledgeable on every position. DM me if you are interested, I also come with my own bats and glove. I've never played usssa, but am interested (and feel like I might actually do better)

Hello I had a situation come up today that I wanted to get some clarification on. My league plays with modified ASA rules.

Situation is this: I am a runner on first base, we use double bags, and our right-handed batter hits a little foul ball that is maybe 5 feet off the deck and lands about ten feet away from him. During this, I am standing straight up on the white bag facing towards home and the first baseman essentially runs and body checks me. They easily have 100 pounds on me and had zero play on the ball based on the fact that the ball landed twenty feet away by the time they ran into me. After the game, I asked them to not body check me next time and the umpire explained to me that he could have called interference and that I am required to maintain a position on the bag but also get out of the fielder's way.

He did not call it since it was a playoff game and they were just letting all sorts of wild things happen. However, would that have been the correct ruling if he called runner's interference? I'm relatively confident the collision was intentional and I don't see how the runner could be expected to turn around and get out of the way while staying on the base.

Thanks for your time

Just bought one used. Anybody have the specs when it was new? Just want to know what the “selling” point was.

One of my league teams is looking to get a team bat for the future, and we’ve decided on an Anarchy because of the reputation they have for durability due to their X-core bats. Issue currently is, is that I haven’t really been able to find an available X core bat in the specs we want (26 ounce, 13 inch barrel, 0.5oz end load).

Our polar season starts 1/9 and I was hoping to get the bat in and spend the next month breaking it in with tee work and BP. While an X-core would be our first choice, does anyone have any insight on the durability of the ACX-360 bats? They are way easier to find right now, but I haven’t been able to find anything mentioning long term durability.

Our league is USA ball with .52s only, and we’re in Florida so not too much cold weather play, though we’ll probably have a few nights below 60° during the polar league.

Just ordered the axe scorch endload really exited to try it out have heard very good things anybody swung one? If so what do you think?

I know someone else posted about bat recommendations today so I hope this isn’t annoying! I read that thread but have a slightly different question. I (female, 5”7) play in a recreational league in London, UK. I will be in the states over Christmas and would like to buy a bat as they can be harder to obtain at home and there’s less choice. I am fairly uneducated about bats but I know I needs it to be USA (not USSSA) approved for my league and I think I generally quite like to hit with an end loaded bat around 26.5 oz. I have no idea on ideal barrel size or anything else. I can hit, but I’m not going for home runs, I want consistent line drives. Does anyone have any recommendations on brands, models and places to buy? I’d rather not spend more than $250-300 if possible. There’s a Dick’s nearby where I’m staying but not sure if buying online would be a better choice? Thanks in advance!

I'm 5'10, 180 lbs. I'm sort of new to softball, so my goal is to hit solid line drivers, rather than homeruns. Solid contact is most important.

My goal is to take 2000+ practice swings over the next few months, so I believe Anarchy x-core is ideal for me.

However, I'm unsure about:

Barrel length: 12 vs 12.5 vs 13 inch?

Weight: 25 vs 26 oz?

Endload: 0.5 vs 1 oz?

Structure: One-piece or two-piece composite?

It seems that 26 oz, 13 inch barrel, 0.5 oz EL, two-piece composite x-core is pretty popular. Should I go with that?

Looking at getting a new glove old one is a little beat up. I play SS, 2B, and 3B. I was looking at the Wilson a2000 superskin sp13 13”. Not a pro and looking to keep it near 200 or lower. Any help would be appreciated!

Looking to get a dual stamp Axe Inferno. Thanks!

Curious if they have the USSSA sticker on them? Website pics aren’t the best.

Playing double header Wednesday nights 250 ball. Back to back games. Check it out if you’re bored. Thanks to the people reaching out with positive messages. Love to ball out.

Hey All - I’m leading an indoor session this Sunday for a UK based Slowpitch team & I’m hoping to make the session Christmas themed. We’ll have music & festive wear encouraged but what drills could I link to Christmas? It’s our last session of the year so want some (additional) fun

Throwing round a star is all I have so far!

I have tried to order 3 bats from any of the us based sites. They won't allow me to use a NL credit card even though I have a us based delivery address. Anybody got any idea how to solve this?

Just trying to get some info, I wear Under Armor turfs, had them a little over a year and we play year round in AZ. At what point do most people change out their shoes?

There’s a lot of helpful advice for those that are new to slowpitch softball shared in r/slowpitch about where to stand in the box, etc. And a lot of videos on YT. However, what might work in USSSA might be different for other leagues (such as 6’ -12’ leagues) because of the height/depth in which the pitch comes into the batter.
I appreciate the info shared, but just wished more posters identified the type of arc their league uses.

Im in a league that you can use any USA or USSSA bat. We use 52/300 balls. I am wondering if top Utrip bats (1piece tantrum, M8 torch specifically) could compete with USA bats. I know MX or M2 torches would be best, but how would they compare to an Anarchy X Core or Suncoast Backlash?

I was wondering if anyone has recently shipped a bat cross country. I need to send a bat back for repairs and need to pay for shipping both ways.

So I'm curious, how much did you have to pay?

I'd just like to get some insight before I package it up and take it to various shippers, or if it's just too much and just wash my hands of it.

TIA

I posted earlier but have pictures now. wondering what this Unreleased USSSA Anarchy might go for? Debating selling or hanging onto it. Also just wanted to show everyone what bat it is. Won this through the SIS Black Friday spin
