For many people, softball is a recreational activity. To others, it's a way of life. Either way, all softball players agree on one thing--they play the game to be competitive and win. Enter the Stealth Tri-Zone, a premier USSSA slowpitch softball bat that enables players of all levels to do both. The Stealth Tri-Zone is designed specifically for players who prefer a longer (13.5-inch), slightly end-loaded barrel for maximum power. Construction-wise, the bat employs Easton's patented Integrated Matrix Technology (IMX), which optimizes the bat's designs, processes, and composite materials to produce a maximum performance. With IMX, Easton layers and angles the bat's aerospace-grade fibers to maximize the hitting area, providing an extraordinary feel and eliminating vibration. The bat also offers a patented ConneXion (CXN) design system that "hinges" during the swing, producing an efficient energy transfer. In addition, CXN isolates the handle from the barrel, further reducing vibration and expanding the hitting surface of the barrel. Finally, the 2010 Stealth Tri-Zone model offers a sleek graphics package that truly stands out on the field.

Certified for 100-plus-mile-per-hour performance, the Stealth Tri-Zone complies with most current bat performance standards: USSSA, NSA, ISA, SSUSA, and ISF.

I'm sure by now we have all heard of something called arbitrage sports betting, this is an unknown or unrecognized method of betting on sports that generate guaranteed profits, regardless of the outcome. Professional bettors know this method and often use this to their advantage because they know that different bookmakers set different odds based on the relative chance of the competitor winning a single event. Although arbitrage may guarantee a certain profit, there are still some things that could prevent the implication of the arbitrage betting method. These factors may also impose certain risks to your arbitrage sports betting experience. Here are a few risks you may want to consider before getting into something like this:

Maximum Limits on Stakes
Usually professional bettors say that the maximum stakes may affect your arb sports betting plans. It may even prevent you further by placing your full stake while arbitraging, so before you place the initial bet, make sure that none of the bookmakers you have registered within the arbitrage have a maximum limit. It's also very important to take note and understand that all betting exchange prices are subject to some sort of a stipulation limit. So make sure before betting that you examine the available liquidity at the second and third prices in line, not just the best price

Worth Sports

Change in Prices
Most sport books online offer different prices for different events, so before placing your bets in arbitrage betting, it's often a good idea to check first that the prices your bookmakers offer are still available. The point here is to not depend on the bookies that hold their prices. Furthermore, the prices on exchanges can change very rapidly, so it's important to make sure that when you are considering arbitrage that you place any exchange bets while the first price lasts.

Crooked Bookmakers
Sports books and bookmakers are just about everywhere online nowadays, which makes finding a reliable one quite hard. Unfortunately there is a long list of dodgy sites that have deprived punters of their legitimate winnings. It is absolutely critical that you make sure the site you are betting on guarantees a return on winnings! If at all possible, I suggest taking a look at reviews before even bothering to sign up at a site let alone bet at a site. In the end, though this will take some time, you will be saving yourself a whole lot of heart ache. Make sure you look for the sites rankings,, check reviews on forums, and you can actually even go to a search engine, type in the name of the site, plus add "reviews" at the end of your query, and the results will show you reviews for that site in particular.

Arbitrage Sports Betting Rules
Bookmakers most likely will always set different guidelines for setting bets on arbitrage sports, with irregular outcomes. Of course this is going to affect the arbitrage you are dealing with. So it's best to check the guidelines maintained by the bookmakers before you place your bets.

Louisville has finally responded to Easton and Demarini's multi-piece bat designs with the Louisville Slugger TPX Triton, a unique 3 piece bat. What I find amazing about this bat is the size of the barrel. This is the largest barrel I've ever seen on a baseball bat. My initial thought is this thing looks like an oak tree!

The unique 3 piece design allows the barrel and the handle to be designed and built as individual units. They are then fused together via what is called the Bubble Transition Zone. Louisville claims this makes the bat function as a more advanced one piece bat (I'll get to this claim in a second). The bat is made of 100% composite material and includes the standard Louisville stiff handle. The Adult -3 model retails for 9 and the Youth -12 at 9.

Louisville Slugger

Louisville has long promoted the benefits of the 1 piece design and stiff handle for baseball bats. The success of 2 piece bats from Easton and Demarini has finally forced them to manufacture a multi piece bat. Unfortunately, being stubborn, they won't admit to the general public that their new multi piece bat is actually a multi piece bat! They claim it's "really" a one piece bat that is fused together from 3 pieces. This is insane!!! Louisville's entire marketing department should be fired immediately.

Louisville has to either admit multi-piece bats have merit or stick to a true one piece design, we're not fools. I'm skeptical to purchase a bat for 9 when the manufacturer is telling me little white lies. What's next, saying they've developed a flex handle fused to act like a stiff handle?

Having said all this about their marketing, or lack there of, I will say that I do think the Louisville TPX Triton is a quality bat. That huge barrel makes it very appealing and it seems to hit very well. But I can not recommend it now due to some doubts about the design and its durability. At the present time I recommend the Easton IMX (Stealth or Synergy IMX) or Demarini CF3 in this category.
