legal warm-up bat per NF 1-3-3

An increasing tendency at some schools in my area is to take a 3-4 foot steel rod and weld a knob on the end of it to use as a warm-up bat in the the on-deck circle.

I believe this was a case book play several years ago (or possibly a rules interp from NF website) but I can not find it.

My opinion is it is illegal equipment and can not be used. It seems I am the only umpire not allowing it.

What is your opinion? Legal per NF 1-3-3 or not?

Am I justified or just too picky?
