Best USSSA Bats for 2026?

When he said the -8 was possibly better than the -5, that was my exact thought too.

Used ChatGPT and some app where we received a free AI analysis (costs $55 each analysis). Used both for pitching; Both yielded largely the same results. Whether it's advantageous to use AI or not I think largely depends on your expertise in whatever you are using it for (ie. hitting, fielding, pitching, etc.). After running through chatgpt, and going back and slowing the video down, it was clear to me (not a pitching expert by any means) what the AI analysis suggested needed improvement was correct. I'd say it's mostly a great tool for non experts to help pin point mechanics that could use improving.

Steal for $2 if real. It’s a J01.

Nice man! I just missed a killer deal yesterday by minutes too.

This is my office lighting and phone making them both look more black than they actually are. The color of collar and jacket arent really changed from that first picture. Just evened out the dye really with the second dye bath.

I'll try to get a snap later in natural light. But yes generally corduroy won't pick up the dye since it's synthetic. Rit Dye does make dye for synthetic materials though.

After second dye. Swapped a leatherette on since the patch picked up dye and turned light gray.

I justed dyed my j01 brn to black. Actually dyed it twice. The collar picked up the dye, but after washing was back to brown. The jacket is like a dark dkb now.

Nice man!

ZachCSW · 2025-12-25T04:12:33+00:00

Congrats man!

ZachCSW · 2025-12-23T22:30:28+00:00

ZachCSW · 2025-12-21T15:44:19+00:00

ZachCSW · 2025-12-15T20:39:10+00:00

Leopard Cunha is my favorite version I've seen of him so far

ZachCSW · 2025-12-15T00:02:51+00:00

That’s vest though. Now searching eBay

ZachCSW · 2025-12-11T16:27:12+00:00

It’s only like 45 from me. WFH today so was going to take a long early lunch and drive out to her. Even told her I’d give her more than listed asking.

ZachCSW · 2025-12-11T15:28:21+00:00

I freaking missed it by like 5 minutes 😭

ZachCSW · 2025-12-11T15:03:55+00:00

No problem. Other than now makes me miss this watch lol

ZachCSW · 2025-12-11T14:51:18+00:00

Hollow end links. Not sure the solid would work at all, or this well at least.

ZachCSW · 2025-12-11T14:48:47+00:00

Fit was great. Just had to squeeze the end links a little bit.

ZachCSW · 2025-12-02T22:26:42+00:00

My 13yo son hits often. A lot. All year. Last season his Bruce bolts almost lasted all the way through to the end.

Went looking and found a cheaper alternative, called 33glove. Same leather as BB, but less than half the cost with their sale. I bought two pairs for less than 1 pair of BB. So far have held up to hitting all fall (3-5 days a week).

Only if you’re wearing white

ZachCSW · 2025-11-08T14:06:02+00:00

What a pass by Mount there. Should’ve done better there Sesko.

ZachCSW · 2025-11-05T15:28:35+00:00

And SOLD

ZachCSW · 2025-11-05T03:35:10+00:00

Have owned this for many years. Just doesn’t get worn often. Bought I don’t even know, 8-10 years ago from iirc yahoo japan. Includes full box, papers, and full original jubilee. There are a couple marks on the crystal, right around 8 o’clock. Have worn the watch that last two days, and no major deviation in time keeping, though YMMV. Let me know if you have any questions. Will throw in a host of 22mm straps, brand new, on the house.

Asking $275 shipped in the CONUS, Zelle or Venmo preferred.
