How is it that the fault of the bat manufacturers gets laid onto the ASA? That's what I want to know...
ASA knew. Everyone new. The big reason for composite bats was because their performance increased with use with the downside being not as much durability.

To say ASA didnt know is absurd... because 14U daddy coach sure as heck knew as he plopped down his 300 bucks. Men have been rolling their bats since jump for this EXACT reason.

Unless someone is going to make the argument everyone BUT ASA knew. If thats the case.. well thats even sadder.
