New Slowpitch Bats and Balls

I could see them doing that, When will they meet to discuss it?

Oh I like seeing some HRs as well but you make a good point about the bats 

bigdog we usually agree on a lot and I’m with you on the home runs makes it fun but a 90lb girl that has never hit the weight room and hits 9-10 hole shouldn’t be the one doing it. You change the bat that is a routine fly ball to outfield. That is all the bat. To your basketball point that is all the player you can either shoot it or you can’t you have nothing during the game that can help you where in softball the bat has direct effect on what happens after the skills shown by the player. Change the bats the girls that work on their craft and do hit the weight room will still hit them out easily. And the others won’t.

SLOW PITCH IS A HITTERS GAME!!!!!!

If you have never hit a homerun because "of your size", then all the sudden you can because of todays' bat technology, then it is taken away from because "your to small to hit homeruns!" is pathetic on the OSSAA and the coaches that want to change the bats.

Too many homeruns.... SMH..... Makes for some of the most exciting state tournaments. 


Those teams that made it to state are most likely the only teams that have that going on, on a consistent basis.

Next they're gonna say they need to raise the goal because of there are to many 6'0 kids dunking it. Or since more women are dunking it the goal should be raised. This sounds no dumber than the argument to change the bats.

Baseball? Did the OSSAA change to the bbcore bat because of all the homeruns the smaller boys were hitting?
And I don't care that baseball changed to less affective bats.

Well the man reason they are wanting to switch is the safety factor of bats being to hot and if that happens there will be less home runs. I see your points bigdog and Homesick not saying I disagree with your points at all

Not sure. Would think in July at coaches clinic would be my guess

I seem to remember reading about that somewhere

Hasn't the safety factor been addressed with the face mask option? 

All these homeruns that the NCAA ladies are dinging, to me, is a lot more exciting than a pitchers dual. 12-7 or 8-5 or 18-16 games will keep you in your seat, again to me, a lot longer than 3-0, or 2-1 or 1-0 games.

Could bring in more fans with the excitement of the chance a young lady/little girl knocking one out of the park.
