1 - I wouldn't quite say that 330 ft hits are "bombs." I've seen some hits go over a 315 fence that were just beginning to start their descent back into the atmosphere. If it hadn't have been for the 40' tall trees behind the fence (and it hit the tops of those trees), the ball would have continued another 150-200 feet or so. Those are bombs. No, his bat wasn't juiced. He played on the local high school team that took the state championship.

2 - It's not impossible. It's just extremely difficult.

3 - Different bats will break in differently. If your friend is not getting much batting practice in, or if he doesn't rotate the bat on each hit, it will break in unevenly. Just a fact with composite bats.

4 - I'm sending you an old keyboard of mine. The punctuation keys work great. Please consider using them. :)

andy shows u really dont know much about bats yes there are the obvious alterations to bats that a monkey should be able to see im saying a painted bat to the naked eye would never rise suspicion unless u know about rue bat performance and there are very few out there that really know what an ultra 2 for instance is capable of 90% of the population could never swing it fast enough to see what a truly insane bat it is

I see you still haven't received my keyboard...

Is there a specific question that you'd like to ask us regarding doctored bats?

Dave:

I can see that you didn't have time to ship your keyboard to him yet! :rolleyes:

The Pony Express is galloping as fast as it can.

Hah!!! We posted at the same time. Great minds....blah, blah, blah.

steeve27,

I think what Andy was saying "what???" to was the fact that your posts are at best exhausting to read because of the lack of sentence structure, capitalization, punctuation...etc.

Lol sorry guys dint know i was being graded ! That 530ft shot u were talking about was hardball i assume?? remember ur talking like 5th level skydome at 530 ft. Brett Helmer and Jeff Hall distances using 120 mph bats

No, it was actually one of our local church league slow pitch softball games.

Not kidding. The kid has serious bat speed and technique.

Everyone's jaws hit the floor, including mine as I watched it soar from behind the second baseman.

Slo pitch??

Oh, that too, I thought he meant relevance. :rolleyes:

Here, Steve. You can use these:

. ? , . . . ? , . , :cool:

Yep. Slow pitch softball.

The entire field just froze and gazed at the ball, including the runners.

This kid's as honest as they come, too. His bat was 100% legit.

OK, since the subject has already been broached here, I'm not taking this thread too much more OT more than it already is. This idea that capitalization and punctuation rules exist only to get a 5th grade English grade is, well, juvenile.

As has already been said, the reason we have these rules is so the written language can be understood. It has nothing to do with "grades" and everything to do with communicating.

The person who won't use at least enough punctuation and capitalization to divide his writing into basic sentences is like the driver who changes lanes and cuts in front of another driver to avoid braking. He is forcing the driver he cut off to now brake. He has no problem inconveniencing others to avoid minor effort himself.

No, I have been watching players hit softballs over 400' for a while and I have a hard time believing there are bats with a 120 mph exit speed.

Then again, anyone who is truly a power hitter doesn't need a juiced bat, out of the wrapper or altered.

BTW, I know there are multilingual posters, but I'm not so sure anyone is fluent in jibberish. Maybe in the YSISF.
