Opinions on bat comparison...

Its a day out on the field for fun between the
two and they hit some balls.

That is an expensive day at the field..

Help me out here..who exactly is the fish in your analogy because the only person who is getting reeled in here is the Dad and I am pretty sure they know how much they paid..

I sell limited brands Pattar...has nothing to do with sales, I should be more sales driven, but im not like
that...haha. I just dont care what people do if its fun for them
and doesnt hurt anybody else. I love seeing a dad and their kid(s) at the park or a field hitting balls, laughing
and smiling. Its what more should be doing nowadays. Brings back the old days before everybody
was on their phones and computers 24/7.

Now, the slowpitch guys who spend 3K on bats a year then firesale those bats at the end of the year
to pay bills...yeah...thats a huge issue...hahaha.

Yeah I mean it isn't like I am proposing we send them to the Hague or anything..I personally just think it is silly but to each their own I guess.

You arent a bat guy, so it does sound weird to you. My wife and I play softball (when she's healthy). I love taking a new bat to the
field and spend a few hours hitting. Its not even about hitting, we just have fun and talk. We get to see what
a new bat hits like and if its any good, but most of all, its time away from everything.

I understand the sentiment. Was hitting with my DD yesterday and she almost hit one out on a 200 ft fence and the look on her face was great and it gave me some joy..not enough joy that I would go and buy another bat to see if it would give her the extra foot so she could hit it out..but joy nonetheless

That very first one is absolutely monumental! But it can do as much harm as it can good, lots of girls get crazy eyes after hitting that first one OTF!

Ask me how I know?
