Discussion: ASA vs 1.21

Posted	Discussion
Jan. 19, 2013 DonB 27 posts	ASA vs 1.21 Personally a senior bat(1.21)will last me a long time, obviously I'm not a masher.If the new ASA standard bats are a bit better than a the 1.20's and I'm assuming durability would be better than the senior bats.Would it not make sense for a masher to swing the asa only bats? I do realize that the new asa only bats have only been out for a short time so durability is still in question.As far as price most of asa only bats are priced equal to the senior bats. Just thinking out loud! Don

ASA dropped the testing swing speed from 85mph to 80mph, changed to the .52/300 ball, but batted ball exit speed cannot exceed 98mph. 1.20bpf have an exit speed of 100+. New 2031 stamp USSSA bats are supposed to get hotter faster and blow up quicker.
