| Sept. 29, 2015 Phoenix26 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Legal bat for play? 3.4(3) • APPROVED BATS All bats marked "1.21 BPF" (Bat Performance Factor) or less, SSUSA approved bats, or bats having an ASA 2000 or 2004 stamp are approved for use. Any bat displaying the label "Exceeds 1.21 BPF" is not approved. The rating must be clearly visible on the bat, or it must be obvious to the inspector that the bat is of an age to make it not high-tech. Effective with the 2014 playing Season, any new bats introduced by bat manufacturers after 2013 must be clearly and permanently marked “Approved for SSUSA Use”, or similar, by permanent sticker, etching or imprint. This is right from the rule book. If I read it right then the bat in question is legal since it is marked BPF 1.20..less than 1.21 |
| Aug. 22, 2015 Phoenix26 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Using one ball for all games If they would use a different cover on the Stote, that would help with performance. Leather or composite. Playing in Manteca last weekend with the Baden Fire(2SB550YS) 100+ on both days. 102 on Saturday when I left and balls still flying. It's listed as a composite cover and feels much thinner. Probably why you see so many get nicks/tears. Should add that some sites list the Baden as a composite while some list it as synthetic. Definitely a thinner cover than any other softball I have. |
