I am by no means a soft-ball expert - and its been a while since I have played - but the bats, IMO, make a HUGE difference. I can remember most of the time just using the decent team bats and then getting a hold of someones fancy-expensive bat - and wow, what a difference. I vaguely remember our leauge (not too serious) banning certain types of bats.
Why not try to get everyone on yoru team to kick in $20 for a really good team bat? Figure if you are carrying 15 people - that should cover the cost.
