| May 3, 2024 IcanRun | Topic: Bats Discussion: Bat standards I've been investigating the current bat standards and have a few questions/observations/comments. Our team recently played in Northern Championship in MN. Yes, I cracked a bat. It seems our BP balls were stored in a vehicle over night with temps in the mid 30's[F] Lesson learned. (game time temp = 42) 1)The question I have: Are the tournament directors in cold weather tournaments aware that their game balls need to be stored indoors above 60 degrees? I believe this is part of the bat issue based on manufacturers comments. 2) Why can't I use my old ASA 1.20 bat for tournaments? These bats, by design, are not as 'active' as current composite bats so don't understand what the concern is. From what I read, the SSUSA logo requirement is all about liability concerns, true? 3) Will tournament fees increase even more now that they are required to purchase equipment, train and employ extra personnel to test bats at each event? Would each bat need some type of specific labeling for every tournament? |
| June 5, 2016 IcanRun | Topic: Bats Discussion: ASA Combat? Correct, gray with red graphics and no BPF stamp. I guess my question is, is a BPF stamp required on all senior league bats even for a ASA approved bat that is lower than BPF 1.21 standard? |
| June 4, 2016 IcanRun | Topic: Bats Discussion: ASA Combat? I have a Combat Dirty (DIRSP3) ASA softball bat that I was not allowed to use in my last Senior tournament. I bought this bat to use in both my ASA leagues in addition to senior leagues. Why is my ASA approved Combat softball bat NOT allowed in Senior tournament play? |
