NFHS requires the ASA approval; either the 2000 or the 2004 certification must be present. To my knowledge, wood softball bats do not have that.
ASA would allow the wood bats, using a remaining grandfather clause that allows bats "in the umpire's judgment" manufactured prior to 2000 that would meet the standards. NFHS does not allow that judgment.
