According to Nate at Anderson Bats the 2005 models with the 2004 stamp will not change from the models with the 2000 stamp and is rated at 98MPH exit speed which is the new ASA standard while bats by Miken and Easton are rated at 100 MPH and will have to be changed to conform with the new standard. Here is the exact quote from the Anderson Bats board:
"the 2005 RKT FP wont be released until July.
We've actually learned some news that is just as much news to me as it will be to you. The sales team isn't allowed access to the testing numbers for our bats. (Our engineering department doesn't want us using the numbers to sell bats...)
Because the RKT FP is SO hot, we always assumed it was at the threshold of performance (100MPH Ball Exit Speed)
We just found out yesterday that the FP has always tested UNDER the 98MPH limit that ASA established. What that means is that the 2005 RKT will be JUST AS HOT as the 2004 model. No decrease in performance between the 2 models.
Suprised?!?! We were too. It just goes to show you how inaccurate these tests that the associations come up with are. Every person we talk to says the RKT FP is the HOTTEST bat they have ever seen or swung. I guess the proof really IS at the plate!
Chalk it all up to our POWER ARCH TECHNOLOGY. This patented technology allows us to keep our ball exit speed under all the testing but still out perform every bat on the market.
GO DEEP!! "
