Not trying to be smart-a**, but none of you can read.
Straight from the UTrip site, and if any printed book says
different, the rules posted on Website overrule.
Sec. 4. The official ball to be used shall have raised seams and shall be of spherical design with a smooth surface. The center or core of the ball shall be of a material and design traditionally used to make softballs, or of other material, or design, approved by the USSSA. The cover shall be of horsehide, cowhide, or other material approved by USSSA and shall be cemented to the core and stitched with cotton, linen, or nylon or any other material approved by USSSA. A multiple layer core design ball or a multiple material core design ball may be approved in the sole discretion of the USSSA on a case-by-case basis. The stitch color must be blue. The internal composition of the core and the material of the cover must be clearly printed on the ball and the words "Official Fast Pitch Softball" must be clearly printed
on the ball. FAST PITCH (12") OPTIC YELLOW COVER ONLY -BLUE STITCH Ball must have "USSSA FAST PITCH", "47 MAX COR, 375# MAX COMPRESSION" in 1/8" minimum letters and the USSSA logo in at least 1-1/8" diameter. (Lettering and logo in blue)

Hope this helps,
