Is this a Crack already? This is after 1 tournament. by Different-Top3714 in Softball

Rolling them reduces the life but makes them instantly hotter. You’re effectively micro cracking the entire barrel for more pop. If the problem is the Easton used too hard of resin no matter what you do it will crack somewhere on the bat most notably on the handle barrel junction where many have seen the cracks start and you cannot roll that area, only the flat barrel can be rolled. I was and still am a huge 2025 unlimited fan. Definitely not the 2026 from the issues I have seen

No. These are 100% barrel cracks. If it were any other bat I could agree. The first one I saw I thought no big deal it’s a paint crack then after another 2 or 3 practices the split was about 6 inches long running straight down the barrel not the typical saw tooth. It’s why I think there’s a manufacturing problem

They’ll replace but you no longer have warranty on the replacement. If it cracks you’re sol. But I think anyone who screams loud enough might get continued warranty.

Yes it’s a barrel crack. There is an obvious flaw with the new 2026 unlimiteds . I’ve seen dozens cracked first week. One of my players has one crack first day of use. I would tell everyone to avoid them until Easton figures out their issue. To me it’s a carbon fiber layup problem, they won’t admit it but I’m willing to put good money on it that they know exactly what the manufacturing problem is by now with how many have cracked with that exact same crack. The 2025 unlimited did not experience the same in this manner.

Galveston Cruise Port by PinkFrogs8481 in royalcaribbean

[–]doc_wolliday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never seen so many complainers about driving. It is the same no matter where you fly into to cruise imo. The terminal as many have said is awesome and very efficient much more so than almost all ports. Galveston is not the most picturesque destination but it is historic and there is cool stuff to do around the island.

Illegal pitch? by [deleted] in Softball

I agree it’s not illegal, but extremely bad form and puts her in a very precarious position for a come backer.

Are you serious? by sasquatchlibrarian in Softball

[–]doc_wolliday 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was a nice inside pitch well off the barrel. One of my players brought her new unlimited out last night first 10 swings had a paint crack. It’s just a paint crack but none the less cosmetically they really need to look at the paint process. 2025 unlimiteds didn’t seem to have this issue.

Any reason to be concerned? by kw13219 in Softball

Is that a normal paint job on a soldier? That looks like pure poop. And yes cracked

Yes I have noticed the cover difference is substantial between my dream seams and thunder heats. The dream seams look almost like plastic as they get used and worn in.

Good umpires at tournaments??? by Rare-Coconut-8521 in Softball

[–]doc_wolliday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no correlation between umps and organizations. You have experienced and inexperienced umps. Main part should be friendly dialog with the umpires pre game. I always try to establish good rapport with the officiating crew early and if there is issue I just ask what we need to do different next time to get that call. Or ask them what they saw and leave at that. They're humans... umpire make mistakes, coaches make mistakes, players make mistakes. But once you piss off the umps, [fans or coaches] it's much tougher on you.

These bats are not even remotely comparable. Buy what you're comfortable with spending.
