Discussion: ASA bats for league - drop or not ?

Posted	Discussion
Dec. 31, 2008 Sundevil2 17 posts	ASA bats for league - drop or not ? We are going to vote next week about our bat rule. Right now we use ASA but many want to change and allow 65 + to use U2 and then everyone else has to use a 1.20 bat. Any thoughts on what works in your leagues. We are in East Mesa, Az. thank you Jim B.

One of the leagues uses a Trump distance ball and the other two use Gold Dots, no comparison. Even with the ASA bats if you get all or most of it it will go unlike the lesser ball.

The batters box has a carpet under 4-5 " of dirt. It feels spongy , but one thing is that it stays level. Some hitters don't like the fact that you cannot dig down, but I think its better in the long run. Dave J
