I notice that Fed has adopted the ASA 2004 revised bat testing standard and the resulting approval / banning of bats.
Given the ruckus that was caused with school teams needing to buy new bats when Fed decided to enforce the 2000 standard even more strictly than ASA did, I fear we may be in for another round of problems with team bats.
What I am thinking about is 2000-certified bats that are no longer in production which the bat manufacturer does not go to the trouble and expense of having re-rested.
Reason suggests that these mainstay team bats (e.g. low cost Louisville, Easton, etc. models) would pass the test, but what if the manufacturer does not submit them?
On the plus side, at least this time Fed will use the ASA approved bat list from the web site.
