Nov. 16, 2007 VegasPaul Men's 70 31 posts | I am not aware the Freak is back. The following is posted on the ASA web site today. However, that was written in 2006. "Grandfathered" Bats no longer authorized beginning in 2008 11/6/2006 OKLAHOMA CITY, OK, — The Amateur Softball Association of America (ASA), the National Governing Body of Softball in the United States, today announced that under a resolution adopted by the ASA Board of Directors, bats submitted by manufacturers that were previously allowed a 2 mph variance in the ASA’s test standards are no longer authorized for use in ASA Championship Play effective January 1, 2008. Commonly referred to by players and coaches as “grandfathered” bats, these bats were allowed a 2 mph testing variance under the terms of an agreement the bat manufacturers and ASA negotiated in the fall of 2003. These terms will no longer be in effect on January 1, 2008 thus making these bats illegal for use in ASA Championship Play. According to the list provided to ASA under the terms of the agreement with each manufacturer, the following bats will be placed on the non approved list on January 1, 2008 Easton Synergy2 Miken Freak Louisville Slugger SB304 SB404 Worth XGOLD-Fastpitch XRED-Fastpitch XPST4 WWSCA SBWKA Vegas Paul |
