Inspired by the classic David Bowie song, Changes, Elite OC will be going through some changes. I can’t really get into the details as of yet. But it should be exciting. Here’s a hint.
I’ll keep you guys posted as things happen.
If you were at the Palm Springs Toys For Tots Tournament, you may have seen the Elite jersey and pullover.
Unfortunately, it was about 90 degrees this weekend in Palm Springs, thus no need for pullovers. But they still looked great!
Often times we get customers who come into Elite OC drooling at all the softball gear we carry. It’s been said that Elite OC is just like a candy store.
Guys even talk about how they could get into so much trouble just by coming to the store, trouble meaning they would want to buy as many things as they want.
A candy store is a great way to describe Elite OC, but I’ve always believed that this place was more like a “softball heaven.”
Think about it, Elite OC has all sorts of bats, from Little League, to USSSA/ASA softball bats, wood to composite, we’ve got it. Besides, where else can you test out the latest Combat Bats…@ Elite OC!
So make sure you come down to Elite OC, we’re located in the beautiful city of Orange.

While you’re here, try out the new Combat ASA and USSSA bats (now available) that we have in the famous Elite Cage.

First of all, get your dirty minds out of the gutter! Hump Day, as defined by Urban Dictionary is:
Wednesday, the middle of the week, implying that you have to get “over the hump” before you can anticipate the weekend. The term was not originally intended to carry a second, more risque meaning.
Damn, I wish every day could be hump day!
So this day could mean a few things for all you folks out there. Hump Day could be a sigh of relief since you’re heading into the weekend. I’m sure you’ve got some big plans to play a few tournaments, drink beer, have a bbq or to simply sleep in. But for a few of you who are cops, nurses and other folks who work weekends, Hump Day could be such a drag. I used to work weekends and I hated Wednesdays because it reminded me that I had a shift on Saturday and Sunday and it would only make me bitter because I am missing out on all the fun a person could have on the weekends.
But I digress, Wednesday is an awesome day because it starts with a W! No other day in the week starts with a W.
Listen, I have an idea. Let’s make Wednesday the Word of the Day!!!! If anyone says to you the word of the day, then make sure you jump up and down screaming “Wednesday!!!! The Word of The Day!!!!!!Woohoo!!!!” Do it how they used to on Pee Wee’s Play House.
Another fun fact would be that I published a newsletter this morning!
If you’re still not part of our newsletter, then make sure you join. There are over 2000 softball players that are part of it, so how come you’re not?
In the newsletter we announced a very special event, its the TAI Sports NC, Grand Opening. I know what you’re thinking, “Hasn’t TAI Sports NC been around for over a year?” To answer that, yes it has. But It hasn’t officially had a grand opening event. Besides it was an excuse for us to sell Elite product to the folks of NC at a discounted price. Get ready for this, 50%off all Elite products!!!!! “Whoa! Did he say 50% off!?!” Yes sir I did and I didn’t stutter!
All this happens on June 5th, 2010. It’s a one day sales event. Prices are only good for walk in customers of TAI NC. No discounts will be offered for online and phone order customers. We basically want to see and meet you. So don’t be shy and come down. From what I hear, Freddy Tario is going to be grilling up some food for our customers. Yum!
TAI NC also worked out a deal for their customers. During the day of the Grand Opening, you can also take advantage of a Free Trial Lesson from Pang’s Taekwondo. Jose “Mr Elite East Coast” Vega has been taking some lesson from Master Pang and can now kick softballs 350 feet. Jose said he doesn’t even need a bat anymore, all he has to do is round house the ball for a line drive or home run. In fact his Kicks are so powerful, look what he did to this poor ball…
Anyhow, make sure you come down to TAI Sports NC on June 5th, 2010, save some money, go home with tons of Elite gear. Prices like these won’t happen again!

When you tell your wife that you want to get a new slow pitch softball bat, does she do this…
Aye, I feel for you brother. But there are ways to get from that, to this. Just look at how Michelle is so proud of Obama.
Anyhow, here’s a few tips on how to convince your wife that you need to add another bat to your current collection of 12.
1. If you get to spend money, so should your wife. Typical rule is, if you budget $300 for a bat, then your wife should get $300 to spend on anything she wants. It’s sorta like bribery but in an underhanded way.
2. Smooth talk her. I’m sure before you two got married, you were quite the smooth talker. If you can’t recall some of the things you used to say, here’s a few that you can borrow from me.
-”wow hun, you look awesome!”
-”Have you been working out? Your (fill in the blank) looks great!
-”Did you lose 10lb or something? You look super skinny, you should eat something!” (this one ALWAYS works!)
3. If none of those have worked, sit your wife down and have a serious conversation. Tell her that softball makes you extremely happy. It allows you to relax, de-stress from a long day and it allows you to get some exercise. Here are some points to bring up on the benefits of softball.
-Meet new friends
-Wear cool uniforms (women dig a man in uniform)
-Helps you get stronger (swinging a 28oz bat is no easy task)
Once you tell her the benefits, then let her know that having a new bat will only enhance your softball experience and allow you to become a better player. In fact, this new slow pitch softball bat could even help you progress towards a career in professional softball. Yup, it could happen. Then next thing you know you have your own signature series bat that we’re selling right here on TAISports.com. Then when all that happens, you can turn to your wife and say…”Hunny thanks for letting me get that bat that I NEEDED, you’re the best!” See, it will all work out, just follow my suggestions and you’ll be fine.
If all else fails, just sell something you don’t use or need anymore, look in your closet or garage and get rid of those golf clubs, old exercise bike, weights, workout machine and etc. With the money you make from the sale, you can order your new bat!

We get people who call our brand, Elite or Elite or ELITE. The problem is, we have athletes from various backgrounds and accents that all pronounce the word differently. We won’t judge your or correct you for saying it they way you like, but here are a few examples of how some people have said Elite:
“eee-leeet”
“EL-EeeTeh”
“AL-Light”
“Eee-Light”
“Ah-Leet”
But hey don’t worry, how ever you say it is fine with us. However, we want to help you out by teaching you the proper way of saying elite: [i-leet, ey-leet].
