Question
A guy is telling me that the old Ultra 2 that has a 2000 stamp on it and says asa on it is made illegal in Senior Softball? I have not heard that can you tell me if that is so?

I have not seen one of those in some time, but if I remember correctly, it has a 2000 ASA stamp on it but no SSUSA stamp or “SSUSA approved” language on it. If that is the case, the bat no longer is legal to use in SSUSA play. Under the new bat rule that took effect on Nov. 1, 2023, only bats with the SSUSA logo or that say “SSUSA approved” on them can be used in SSUSA tournaments.

It’s legal to use, check out the bat policy above

SMOKE707, you may have missed the rule change, which is highlighted in bold on the bat policy page: “Bats must be made by the manufacturers listed here marked with the SSUSA/NTS logo, or marked SSUSA approved (or have SSUSA logo), with 1.21 BPF or less.” Therefore, if bigjim’s bat does NOT have the SSUSA logo or say SSUSA approved, it is NOT legal to use in SSUSA play. There are some Miken Ultra 2s from the 2000-2004 time period that bore an ASA stamp (and no SSUSA logo) that NO LONGER can be used in SSUSA play. If you get in the batter’s box with one of those bats, you are ejected from the game for using an illegal bat.
