| May 2 garyheifner 651 posts | Bat ckecks at tournaments Just read the rules and consequences regarding an illegal bat. The thing that jumped out to me is NEVER buy a used bat from anyone. You will have no idea what has been done to it. The other thing is the at site cks. I went to watch a USSSA tournament a few years ago. They cked the bats. Guys were coming in with new $300 bats certified OK-took off the wrappers and they failed the test. There were a lot of really pissed off players. I hope this does not happen with us. |

| May 2 rmp0012002 Men's 50 58 posts | Bat ckecks at tournaments Was the 140 the existing standard but now just adding field testing? |
| May 2 JamesLG 421 posts | Bat ckecks at tournaments A lot of the older Reeboks and Adidas bats have seams but still test in the 145-160 range. Are seams going to be labeled cracked bats. Thank You: James |
| May 3 Double Dee 13 posts | Bat ckecks at tournaments Miken bats as well. My guess is yes, they will be considered cracks. |
| May 3 JohnO28 Men's 50 122 posts | Bat ckecks at tournaments Double Dee, seams aren't cracks. |
| May 3 Double Dee 13 posts | Bat ckecks at tournaments I agree, but does SSUSA agree? |

| May 7 marcster13 103 posts | Bat ckecks at tournaments Any bat testing under 180 is almost junk for someone with decent bat speed. It is a treasure for those with weaker swings. Under 160 it is for sure junk with decent bat speed. 140...... yikes? They are doing you a favor! Retire it to be used as a home protection device. |
| May 7 JohnO28 Men's 50 122 posts | Bat ckecks at tournaments Marcster13, That really isn't even close to being accurate. Go watch BigChef BP and watch Chef and Alan swing the bat. They are both 40 senior players with bats speed well in excess of 90 MPH and their ideal compression on bats is about 175 and they drop 375+ all day long at that compression. Few Senior players have anywhere near 90 MPH bat speed and if these guys are getting over 375 at 175 then compression of 180 isn't anywhere near too soft for guys with average bat speed. |
| May 9 JayPar 8 posts | Bat ckecks at tournaments how does one determine if the batter knowingly uses a cracked bat or once the bat is discovered cracked you can no longer use it? without penalty? |
