| March 2 Junior2412 18 posts | Other that a "senior" bat, can I use any USSSA or ASA bats in a tournament(reason, I'd rather have a bat with a warranty (don't need the extra "senior" pop).....thanks. |
| March 2 Dbax Men's 65 2116 posts | Yep. |
| March 2 ju25 Men's 60 236 posts | The bat must have a bpf stamp of 1.21 or lower, the new ASA bats do not have the bpf on them and are illegal. Older ASA bats with the 1.20 bpf on them are okay. USSSA bats have the 1.20 bpf on the thumb print. Click on Bat Policy above. |

| March 2 Junior2412 18 posts | Titanhd.........Reading Page 15 doesn't really help me with this question. However.......JU25 telling me that ALL NEW ASA bats don't have the 1.21 stamp DOES help me. So JU25......................Do ALL New USSSA 2019 bats have the stamp on them and that would make them allowed in tourney's????????? Thanks. |

| March 2 Junior2412 18 posts | Yes...........here's the rule............... 3.4(3) • APPROVED BATS...All bats manufactured prior to 2014 marked "1.21 BPF"(Bat Performance Factor)or less, SSUSA approved bats, or bats having an ASA2000 or 2004 stamp are approved for use. Any bat displaying the label "Exceeds 1.21 BPF" is not approved. The rating must be[1]clearly visible on the bat, or [2] be clearly and permanently marked by either SSUSA logo or “Approved for SSUSA Use”,or similar, by permanent sticker, etching or imprint. Any new bats introduced by bat manufacturers after 2013 must appear on the SSUSA Approved Bat List to be legal for use in any SSUSA sanctioned event. However, I WAS looking for the interpretation of the rule BEFORE buying a new bat... |

| June 17 Fabe Men's 65 457 posts | Bat requires an association stamp...got one of those! Aloha, Fabe |
| June 17 Nancy Allen Men's 55 1440 posts | Fabe, you might want to look at the Bat Policy above which includes the list that marcster13 posted also. I only say that because I have two senior bats that are clearly marked with the Senior Softball stamp and are not legal for play; so I only use them for batting practice. Hopefully your bat meets the policy. Mahalo. |
| June 17 Fabe Men's 65 457 posts | Nancy, Good follow up...I was making reference to the Combat B1 with no stamps. I should've been clear with that! I have one of those n swing it only during bp! Aloha, Fabe |
