I think after the Olympics, ISF decided to use the ASA list, bringing us to this discussion here.

For the record, I only call ASA, and have zero experience with ISF.

I find it ironic that the ASA (USA Softball) is the U.S. Olympic Committee's National Governing Body for softball and represents the USA to the ISF, and yet ISF has approved bats that the ASA has banned.
