[DirtyOne55]

So there are rumors that some bats are going to be illegal next year that are legal this year. does anybody know for sure what some of the bats are that are going to be illegal?

ASA has a posting on the website about what bats will not be legal next year. The Freak 100 and Syn 2 are on the list...

The original CRUSH is still legal for play in 2008 in ASA..... the "NEW" RE-ISSUED version is illegal.

Illegal bats for one tournament a year....Metro?

It would be nice if all the softball powers to be could have just one list of banned bats. It would cut down on some of the confusion.

do you know how much money that would cost the bat manufacturers (AKA the people who pull the softball strings)

Yes I do! $ is power, cut down on their $ and you've cut down on their power.
I agree, the bat manufacturers hold most of the cards.

No it's not legal in 2008. The original Crush is a 100mph bat, deeming it illegal. The re-issue is illegal anyway, since it carries no ASA approval stamp.

Be prepared for print-outs of banned bats running rampant of fields next year!

It WOULD be nice, but it'll never happen.

As long as you know your ****, knowing what can and can't be used is easy. Well, it's familiar with me since I know about everything that's out :)

Yep, I love being the **** that points out illegal equipment.

In his defence, the Crush isn't banned YET, but it will be :D

incorrect. not all 100mph bats exceed the 98mph standard... The reissue isnt legal though.

you're right. i hypothecised too early (look at when i posted). its weird that that isn't on there though (Crush 100). also surprising is the Velocite..hit it just right, and it's better than a Freak 100.

[bombsaway]

yes but any bat rated at 100mph will be illegal in asa,lady virus just failed the test easy example
