Now that DFP's favorite bat expert is being forced out of business, I want to start a thread to thank him for everything he has done, great and small.
I will be first.
I only got one bat from him. I was planning on getting another one either this year or next, so I don't have the experience that some of you have, but one was enough to let me know he's the real deal.
My DD 3 has her birthday in very early January. Often we are visiting NYC during XMas and New Year, and when we do that, we usually have a birthday party for her on New Year's Day, since everyone is off work and school. DW is Chinese, and the Chinese custom is to give money for presents.
A little over a year ago, DD 3 really wanted a CF 8 -11. I talked to Core Softball, he gave me advice, and tracked down the bat for a lot less money than the other places charge on their web sites. I mean, we really wanted a very specific bat, and he had it, and he was able to explain all about bats to me (I was completely clueless) so my DD 3 could get just the right bat.
I paid on my credit card. DD 3 counted up enough of her XMas and birthday money to pay me back. I arranged to have the bat delivered right after we went back. A few days later, DD 3 took her bat to a winter practice. She raved about it.
So, thank you for the great price and great service. Stuff you can't get at Big Box Sports (esp. since one of the two Big Box Sports stores in our area closed down, and we only have one left. Also a small operation, which we sometimes patronize).
