Discussion: Strike zone mat
Hi, SSUSA rule 1.62 states in part "The mat shall be made of rubber or other suitable material." Can someone please clarify the definition of "other suitable material? Thanks
I've seen/heard about plywood and fiberglass strike mats. Both are reputed to be durable and will make an obvious audible sound when the ball hits it, aiding in ball/strike calls. Hope this helps.
Totally agree with Dave. In Washington league play, we have mats that are plywood. They are wrapped in thin turf so they can't/won't splinter. I love them. They help.
