Dear SSUSA, I would like to extend my sincere congratulations to you and your directors for your collaborative efforts with the players in reaching this decision. This demonstrates a commendable commitment to both the players and the safety of our game.
Kudos to you all for your leadership.

JohnO28 you are correct. SSUSA tests the bats before every tournament, The bats pass compression it gets the OK to use sticker for that tournament. The bat failed compression, the bat is confiscated and marked illegal to use in SSUSA Tournaments. It's unnecessary for any suspension, unless after the illegal stamped bat is used in tournaments!!!

We (Lowe's Legends) used a very simple and not too expensive setup:

The camera comes with several attachments that you can use on the backstop: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07314N12V/?coliid=I3DYQBF5ABZEQO&colid=1NFLU5JE3J4O4&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
Battery pack, this should last to record 7 games: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VWV8LD4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
SIM card: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073JYVKNX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Lefty, this bat is stiff and take a while to get it broken in. Took me about 265 swings to get it game ready, and the sweet spot is small (it's normal on 12' barrel bats). Now average distance is between 340-360, not too bad for a 53/5'8"/210. However, if you do not have time for BP and get it game ready, there are other options out there. The bat feels more like a U-trip bat than a Senior bat before broken in. Hopefully this help!
