| May 12, 2009 DA13 5 posts | Illegal Bats for Senior Softball? Probably a short one, but is there a list? Dave Adams OSC, Washington |
| May 12, 2009 ROOSTER10 Men's 60 91 posts | DA13 Senior softball banned lists ? 1. titanium 2.ultra I grey 3. hubble microscope 4. anything that does not come out of knop or end cap? 5. If you make it we will come !! A little humor I guess on last 3 but I believe the first 2 are the ones!! |
| May 12, 2009 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Some I can think of : Grey original Ultras, balanced and maxload, Titanium's from the early-mid '90's, 4 makes, Yellow Rip-it Elite Have yet to see an official list. May vary as to assn. and where played as well. You could add any altered bat to that list as well. But again, these vary with definition within each. |
| May 12, 2009 wagon487 Men's 55 578 posts | I don't think the Boombah cannon is approved for anything but WSA |
| May 12, 2009 SSUSA Staff 3491 posts | The SSUSA approved bat list is really very simple. Any non-altered bat that bears the label/marking as meeting the 1.20 BPF (Bat Performance Factor) standard is allowed for SSUSA sanctioned play. There are only a handful of senior bats not meeting that standard, including (as noted by another poster above) the original grey Miken Ultra, the yellow Rip-It and a vary small production run of Red ComBat's made in Canada a couple of years ago. The only other somewhat frequently encountered non-complying bat is the blue Boombah with a BPF marked 1.205, which does not meet the standard. |
| May 12, 2009 #6 Men's 60 1173 posts | DA13, i was using the Miken Titanium in Irving and the ump wouldn't allow it, we got the TD over to our field and he said is was OK.Since then, i sold it! I like the Launch510 gold. |
| May 12, 2009 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | I'll add the Toloso Maximus, and the Powerhouse Team Players Model (it has a bfp stamp, not bpf and the ASA stamp reads American Sports Assoc). |
| May 14, 2009 canIjack Men's 60 322 posts | The Staff and that SECRET COMMITTEE really need to get a life. Boombah with a BPF marked 1.205 And everyone else including Miken has their bats BPF marked 1.20?????? But they only elect to take and PRINT the BPF number in the Hundredths (.00) and not the Thousandth (.000). Come on all you math genius, what is the real issue here. I have used Mikens since 2002 starting with the Ultra 1 which I cracked, and then I've had over 8- 30 oz Mikens. I also have two Boombahs 27 and 29 oz. that I have used this pass year. Great bat, but over my senior career the Miken is still tops. I have cleared hardball fences of 365 with the Miken and not the Boombah but the Boombah Cannon seems to last longer. I have not cracked my Boombah YET. I will, but not yet. Some one is getting paid to keep the Boombah Cannon off the list. All the Politics that goes on in this SSUSA / Tom Hennessey |
| May 14, 2009 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Another some short run was with a Blueish\Grey Combat, that did not have the BPF stamps either. |
| June 8, 2009 RochBob 54 posts | How does a bat that does not meet ASA and USSA standards be legal in SSUSA ?????? CURIOUS!!!!!! Does not meet current ASA and USSSA standards Sizes/Weights: 34 in./26 oz., 34 in./27 oz., 34 in./28 oz., 34 in./29 oz., 34 in./30 oz. Does not meet current ASA and USSSA standards. Approved for Senior Softball U.S.A. (SSUSA) Model No.: |
| June 9, 2009 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | I don't understand your post, what's your point? You left out ISA and NSA. |
| June 9, 2009 salio2k Men's 60 547 posts | RochBob.....Welcome to senior softball. This message board is supplied by SSUSA. They make the rules. This is not ASA. This is not USSSA. |
