That MK III and the 400 surely bring out the best in you! Great shot. I have this combo headed my way, can't wait!

You want ouch, I cringe remembering where I fouled one off one day in college - only wish it was my foot!

What school is that?

May I ask how far you are away from the batter and how far from the batter to the backstop? I'm trying to get an idea of the DOF. Thanks.

Great job in taking what would otherwise be an ugly chain link fence 'out of play' !

Thanks guys..its fun to get something by pure luck every once in a while.

May I ask how far you are away from the batter and how far from the batter to the backstop?

Not sure how far I am from the batter but this is just about full frame on the 400. I am just past first base and against the fence (about 20' from foul line) Maybe you can do the math.

This field does have a much larger area between home and backstop than a typicall HS field. I would guess 15'-20' .... which is why the fence is almost not there

Hey Matt, do you prefer the 400 over the 300 for HS baseball? I am considering a 300 w/1.4 tc when I need the reach...
