It has been checked and passes the ASA standard. What else can you ask?

A new standard.

A lot of SP bats meet the standard, too, and then heat up until they're dangerous. This bat is dangerous.

ASA may have approved the RocketTech, but I've seen it in action. There's no way it should be legal.

Ten to 15 feet farther off a tee? And 50 to 75 feet farther off a pitch.

Yesterday the shortstop playing against this bat was quite talented. Good range, good arm, threw people out from behind second and deep in the hole. But twice she could barely get her glove up for a line drive. I have never seen balls hit so hard by 14-and-under girls.

Perhaps ASA is hoping that girls' FP splits into divisions by home run limits.

I've seen a lot of teams in this area going to those bats.

No doubt.
