1) These three models do not appear today on the Approved Bat list (unless I just missed them; FP136, FP1368, FP1369).
2) These three models do have the 2004 Certification mark.
3) These three models do not appear on the list of bats with 2004 Certification that are now NonApproved.
I suspect the language on the NonApproved list may be the issue; it states the bats on that list failed field tests, and these did not. They are being recalled by Louisville Slugger because they break at the taper so often/easily that LS realized they are unsafe.

That was exactly the conversation I had with a fellow official this morning.
We do both NCAA and HS together.
He passed the note on to the HS commisioner and we are hoping for quick answer...
IN THE MEANTIME, as I head to my HS game tonight, knowing what I know, I can not allow these bats in the game.
I have printed out the note from Louisville Slugger Division and will be carrying it with me.
