Lol its funny you say that about the bat and balls. I actually got the balanced version, just showed the pic of the end loaded, and I just checked my bat and it only says ISF certified 2005

. I never used the worth gold dot balls before until we used in a tournament last year at the 6-12. I didn't like them, they felt extremely light, and got dinged up easily, and ball that was hit hard left a dent in it lol. They did fly out sometimes thats for sure, I'm just not sold on them like everyone else is in the league, I remember it being brought up that we were switching to them this year in town. Can't say I remember what ball we were using before.
The other league we had used a ball called The Guru for years. I know we've switched back and forth between that and "The Evil Ball", which I did just find on google and it is actually called that lol. Ball compression wise I can't remember what is what, even with the Red/Gold Dot I know there is a ton of different compressions.
Anyways thats what are problem is too much thinking lol, this is a simple game. I'll let you know what i think of the Z 3000, like I said I don't think i'll use it tonight because of the whether.
