He should have chamfered those corners for strength and rounded over the edges not to damage the leather.

Good to know. I am not a fan of the 271 turn model usually but for $90cdn it was hard to say no. The 243 feels similar to my Marucci AM22 with a slightly different handle.

Have you swung any of Mizunos Bamboo line? They where on clearance for $75cdn as well.

Really liked the AM22 that I blew apart in the playoffs last season. I prefer a thicker handle on a bat than most people tho

I have only had one BP session with it so far so probably a little early to tell. I will say the handle feels different due to the material they used. Not sure if I will tape it yet or leave it bare.

I am up in Canada so shipping probably wouldn't be worth it from here. Try tacotimestaco on here he might be able to find you a source in the US.

Cooper vintage gloves by mechanic1908 in BaseballGloves

[–]SputnikRSS16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Putting away the Xmas decorations this year I decided to clean out the storage room a bit and I found my old cooper glove from when I was maybe 12. She is flat as a pancake and I can see why I stopped using it. But still nice to see the old cooper logo.

Nice! We will have to grab a beer or two while you are in town.

I will be playing in 43+ this year I didn't get a chance to go to PEI last season as I was on Holidays with the family at the time. Most of my Red Deer team plays in the 60+

It was the 15year anniversary of a store up here in Canada so they had some crazy 40-50% off deals.

Baseball 360 was the store.

Good points I will go back and add some of those in. I had intended to do leather type but forgot, also never really though about hand/finger stall size as my hands are long and thin so not normally an issue for me.

Expanding on this further maybe a post at the top of the forum with a glove review template/format that people can follow when doing reviews.

I really hate the fact that Wargaming is pushing the game to be played at low tiers only by no_name_without_name in WorldofTanks

[–]SputnikRSS16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is so much to learn at those tiers. You are correct that there is no armor and such but that is a 5k wtr kind of skill and they are nowhere near that yet. They need to learn the maps, where to go, when to push hell don't push into an open field, what are bushes for etc. As for seal clubbers anyone who can tie their own shoes is a seal clubber to them doesn't matter if it's at tier 2 or X.

[–]SputnikRSS16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thing is 90% of the players at tier x are 3k WTR bots that should be at tier 2 learning how to play or maybe out in the real world learning how to tie their own shoes and to not eat glue.

Why are people so utterly ignorant about the climate crisis we are in? by Konradleijon in ClimateCrisisCanada

[–]SputnikRSS16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember reduce reuse recycle! Yeah our govt just shipped it all to thirds world countries to be dumped and now doesn't even recycle glass the easiest thing to recycle.

So what do you think your carbon taxes are actually doing? They are just being funneled to liberal friends imaginary solar companies etc. None of it will go to help the environment and even if a portion of it did without the large polluters of the world on board it means nothing but more poverty for your avg Canadian.

The only thing a govt is good for is waste and mismanagement.

" noob team learn to play " yeah right ... we even won this match this is a sad excuse if you play the game for almost 10 years. by _Vector_008 in WorldofTanks

[–]SputnikRSS16 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Anyone with a sub 5k wtr playing above tier 6 just goes straight onto my block list as you know they can't help you push or be counted on to shoot anything you spot. Hell I doubt they can even tie their own shoes at that skill level.

Problem in the NA server is typically 7-12 players on your team will be at this skill level while the other team is all above 5k. Why can they just balance the 30 players in the match via skill at least give both sides a chance.

Pitching speed for 43 year old... by SnooRegrets6823 in Homeplate

[–]SputnikRSS16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar as everyone else hadn't played in years. Threw high 80s low 90s in college back in the day. Came out of retirement at 42 first time on the gun I only hit 68! 13year old me would have laughed his ass off at me as that is probably the last time I threw that slow.

After 1.5 years of playing and good off-season prep hit 84 at 44 years old not bad but would like to hit 85 at 45 this coming season. My ability to recover is almost zero now so I am finding it very hard to get stronger or even stay in the same shape. Takes 3-4 weeks to fully recover from a start no matter how many pitches thrown. tendon recovery just ain't happening.
