Does anybody know if there are actually bats on the banned list that have the 2004 mark on them?
That is because the manufacturers make and distribute bats that are not in spec, yet placed the certification mark on them. They also produce bats that are not meant to be ASA approved.

The Cat FP305 was placed on the non-approved list AT THE MANUFACTURER'S request.
