Is it that balls may be up a Max of 375lbs, so many are a lesser compression, and they can manufacture them at whatever compression they wish to, up to a max of 375? |
A couple of years ago, these standards were adjusted BY asa. It is no .44COR, but .440. Why? Because the manufacturers were making them at .449, still not .45 so they were still technically .44COR.
Not all softball sanctioning bodies in the US operate under the same spec or restrictions.
Same with compression. It is 375.0. The manufacturers did not deny the measures as they were technically within the confines of the specs.
