Is this website for coresoftball20 still up and running? If so, what is the new website. I did a google search no luck. If it is not up and running where else can a dad get a resonable priced bat.

When was it posted? I know they had a misunderstanding with Wilson at the end of 2016, and had their account temporarily suspended, but it was reinstated (along with an apology from Wilson) at the end of the year. I hope they aren't pulling the plug completely. Core has been a very good resource of information, along with great prices.

EDIT: Oh, damn. I found Craig's FP post from Jan 19. They are shutting the doors. :(

I had a conversation with Core (Todd) this morning. He will be posting more details about the situation. It's not good.

I will post more this week as Eric said. Wilson turned their back on some people
and we were one of them. Loyalty means nothing to them and to have low class people
like O'Brien, Curtis and such at Wilson tell you, you don't "fit" their new marketing
fastpitch strategy going forward and to basically f* off after spending very good money
with their company for years and representing them the right way and busting
your rear for them...very disrespectful and no integrity.

But we are good enough to sell their slowpitch if we wanted to after that market
was ruined years ago by their big stores and their salesmen ("reps"). No thanks.
Not gonna bust my rear to sell products for you that your "favorite" stores
ruined and maybe break even at best.

You wanna know their new strategy?...they want all you good people to pay full retail to the
rich stores so big Wilson suits and big store owners can keep living the dream off your
wallets/purses. Make no mistake, YOU are their cash cow and they will do anything to save it.
They want their rich stores to keep making that outrageous markup on bats and people like
me stood in their way.


I guess I let a little bit slip out :mad:

They want you to pay full retail, and worse yet they want you to buy from some putz that doesn't know what he's talking about. That part is infuriating to me. Nobody in those big box stores has a clue.

Todd/Core understands the product lines and has given really good advice publicly and privately over and over again. That is worth it's weight in gold to parents who just want to get the right bat in their kids' hands without being an equipment junkie. He has done more to help educate parents than the marketing drivel the bat companies put out. Providing good info to buyers helps create buyers who are willing to buy more product.

There is also a big retailer, one that specializes in bats and I am shocked how bad the advice is when people ask questions on their site. Basic questions, is this bat end loaded or balanced, is this a good bat for this purpose...."Of Course is is a good bat for that, every bat we sell is the awsomest ever"

It just happened on this site a few days ago: Question: should I replace a -10 LXT with a -8 LXT. Answer by a "Product Specialist": "If your daughter used to swing a Rocketech she can handle this bat". Really..... Yeah one of the most end loaded bats ever made replaced by a super heavy balanced bat. Ever heard of MOI? Ever swing a RT? The RT is going to be +1,2,3 oz over the -9 sticker weight but most kids won't feel it in the swing. A sawlog LXT? That's going to take a really unusual hitter to swing well. But even if she can swing it, those two bats are apples and oranges. Heavy end loaded and heavy balanced are NOT similar in any way.

Really honks me off.

I'm sickened.

Ever so slightly off topic, but Wilson is parent company for which bat/equipment brands? (So I know where to throw my cash now)
