In Ohio we are lucky to have Kyle McNeely (chair of NF Baseball Rles Committee) to go to for answers. I talked with him last week at our state rules interpreters meeting.
Mattingly bat: Legal
Reebok Vector O: Illegal. Only because Reebok failed to present the bat to BESR certification committee. Reebok was notified on Thursday January 22 by NF rules committee the bat was illegal.
DeMarini Vendetta: Illegal. The handle is not smooth, nor cylindical. It has raised rails.
Additionally, those of you who have said the "smooth, cylider" part of bat definition only applies to the barrel are dead wrong.
