For all of you who were aware there was a conference this past weekend in which ASA was considering banning particular bats (rumor was the composites), the committee went into it gung-ho. Word is that they were prepared to go even farther than banning composites.

And then the lawyers started talking. Latest report is, they are still talking. And they'll probably still be talking for quite a while. Apparently, Miken isn't that upset as they are supposed to have a bat (completely legal) in the works and ready to go at any moment should the Ultra II get banned. Easton and Worth raised the more stink as they obviously feel more threatened.
