Sotball Bats

[ump57006]

I don't know if this bat has gotten into you area or not, but it is the hottest bat i have see yet. It is the Miken Ultra; manufactured in Minnesota. ASA has the 1.20 bpf rule but the manufacutes are always one step ahead. This bat flexes in the handel just like you see a graphite golf club. I see guys in our town that have been playing for 15 years and never before hit a home run(300ft.) they are now hitting it 320-340 ft. I umped a tournament 2 weeks ago and the pitcher was wearing a hockey goalie face mask.(smart move for his protection) Our beloved sport of slow-pitch softball is in serious troble.
In the 10 years of umping we have gone from a 50cor ball to 47cor, now 44cor. I hear 40 cor is right around the corner.
